Jack has left the building
September 18, 2006 at 8:40 pm | Posted in Life, Music, Scrapbook Layouts | 4 CommentsIn response to popular demand (that means you Heather) it’s time for another music related post.
Went over to the Greyhound Hotel on Sunday to watch Ian Bland finally emerge from the shadow of his alter ego (and some might say, arch nemesis) Jack Rabbit and launch himself as a solo performer. It was a good performance and, in a first for Ian, it even started on time!
With a strong Aussie Country type flavour, Ian played his own material ranging from the haunting Kilkunda Wind (personal favourite) and The Drifter (strong social comment, another favourite) to the desperate Beer With No Pub (yes, I’ve got that the right way around). Ian has a very distinctive voice which lends itself well to the narrative style of song and everyone in the Pub enjoyed his act … as did I.
So hopefully we’ll see and hear more of Ian in the coming months.

I should really start learning how to use photoshop/gimp! I love the idea of combining digital tricks with “real” embellishments, and I love your idea of scanning actual clothes parts!:)

I really need to be on the look out to see if we have any of the cd’s around for the performers you mention. Also I love the layouts you have been doing. They are magnificent.
