I drove out to Nimbin on a tip that I'd find good musicians to jam with and some good "herbal inspiration" if you know what I mean. When I get to town, my bass player's gone off to Sydney and I find myself alone in the coffee shop next door. Suddenly, a sound catches my ears... It's NIM FM 102.3 and it's really groovy! I ask the barista "Where's the local radio station, man?" He points me across the street and I'm on my way. When I walk in the door, this punker chick introduces me to this gawky, strange looking guy with two turntables and a microphone. "I've got a disc here you might want to play, man..." He replies "A disc? Dude, how about you come down to the station tomorrow and play live on the air?" What else could I do? He sat me in front of a microphone the next day, threw some heaphones on his head, and man... I thought I was sitting next to Howard Stern or something! Sheesh... It was awesome. Besides, he liked Bob Dylan and knew all about Hunter S. Thompson. The whole radio show went great (except when I fell out of my chair while trying to play Don McClean's "American Pie".) |
