Easy listening


The other day I met up with me ole mate Gary up on the tailings dam at work, which is a bit of an odd place to meet up, but we tend to cross each other's path up there quite often. It's almost like a regularly scheduled meeting. Gary is old school Waihi and has been around Waihi since Christ was a corporal. I met him in the stores firstly and the most important thing that you need to know about Gary is that he whispers. I've known him for almost four years now and I've probably only ever understood about half of everything he has ever said to me. In person, it's not so bad because you can infer things from non-verbal communication, just like when you travel to a foreign country and you don't speak the language, but over the phone it's absolutely hopeless trying to understand anything he's saying! Mostly, you try and pick up key words, such as, "rugby" "last night" "good" "computer" "requisition" "Ph" "pick up" "soon". That last sentence is just a bit of insider stores humor but that's really the way it goes.
Anyways, Gary plays in a band (bass, not the singer) and he's downloaded one of their songs to youtube which can be found to here. He's hoping to appeal to the masses of Finndego readers out there (all 25 of you!) in hopes of becoming the next Justin Bieber. He assures me that of the 20 hits that he's received that 18 of them are of him checking if their are any more hits. I have feeling that I know some of the people in his band through Keri Ann's Waihi Art School connections but I'll have to wait until our next meeting up on the dam.
For those of you wondering what's happening with the radio thing. It is happening and I'll keep you up to date as things progress. In honor of that, and the fact that Gary has never beaten me at virtual rugby, here is my own little playlist of things that I have been listening to lately. Enjoy!
