I key boardest named Peter picked me up hitch hiking and took me on a 3 week trip with his band the "Herbs" to photograph their gigs. By far ont of the best times of my life was chillen with these guys in the most diverse "Climate" and beuituful land anyone could imagine

This almost brings out the tears, Those old NZ summers we put the Hangi down early the family all came round, Good tunes like these playing, LOL our flagons full of lion red or DB, Oh man those day were so great. Bit different here in Aus as we all dissapered chasing the coin etc.......Gotta be careful what you leave behind aye, as you may not know what you have untill you dont have it anymore. Least I have the music though. Thanks.

Now many years later, and living in the UK, it brings back cherised memories of my upbringing, and boy do I miss those good ole days. Ka kite ano and malo lava for posting this video. Much appreciated. Alofaaga and Arohanui. Otara Auckland lives on.xxx

[@sicariodave3643]

I met Willie Hona by accident one night I was pub crawling and he was performing at the Slipway Hotel one night in Ballina NSW, he just finished a set came out to the sidewalk and lit up a Joint. Very humble guy, I think I still have his business card he gave me he was living in Iluka, I was pretty star struck think he noticed lol.

[@circomcircom3341]

This will never fade for me, great I saw some of them playing up in Hokianga this year.

[@MagicpotatoAus]
