Congrats Paddy. I can't believe how many players you've got down under in the southern hemisphere. Great stuff.

Thanks Billy it certainly was a bit of a surprise if you consider the fact that I am not even an Aussie hehe !!!!

I never did need an excuse to buy you a beer mate so you can prepare yourself for Dallas - and don't forget your denim jacket ! (in joke).

Ken, there is a quite a few really good players in Aussie, Michel Rose and Tomi Grasso - both from Sydney, were unable to make it to the Brissie show -- Michel in particular is a world class player (Zum of course).

They had a pretty good turn out and I had about 18 guys sign up for my workshop which was great.... they are doing a great job of supporting our wonderful instrument over there in OZ !
