INTERVIEW PART 3
Interview… part 3…
A. H. Font… Once again to attempt an interview, with that unpredictable, and internationally infamous Bloke…
‘ Ok…So…There’s lots to talk about…Lets take this rave and put it on another field’… ‘What are your thoughts on all sorts of football from a TV couch type of view’???…
‘Ah…Ok…So here’s my call…There’s too much shirt pulling, and faking a dive in the round ball game, and I don’t like 3 points for a field goal in rah rah…Leauge is moving so fast now that it needs 2 linesmen, each with there half, on both sides of the field, to call forward passes, especially from the dummy half, and offside play as well;
And that AFL…Well…That’s such an Aussie game, it moves from one side of the screen to the other, we inherited a resemblance of that game from Ireland’…
‘Well now…Do you have a football team in any code you support and want to win’???…
‘Oh yea…Titans ‘n’ Knights, in the NRL…Swans ‘n’ Lions, in the AFL…Ncl’e Jets in the round ball game, and the Wallaby’s in the world cup Rah Rah’…
‘Yes, well… What about that other couch potato sporting stuff you get yourself heavily involved in’???…
‘Ah yes…I like to hit the couch for a 5 day cricket test match, and if there’s an Ausie in the mix, on the last day of one of them masters golf tournaments, I like to watch them shoot for the greens’… ‘And make the put’…
‘Ah…Yes…So much for them ball games, lets bring it up to where you’re at musically, maybe my intuitive readers can glean some enlightenment from your comments and further themselves’… ‘What are your musical objectives’??
‘Amm…Ah…Well you see, I’m in semi retirement at the moment, I’m only committed to Jamieson’s restaurant most every Sat night, the Blues Club every 2nd Thursday, the Bob Dylan song book band on the 1st Sunday in the month, the Bulla’s when ever they appear, the odd primary school appearance, sessions at home… Sometimes a wedding gig, thrown in with a bush ballad or Bob Dylan sing along’…
‘Yes…It seems you’re telling my observant readers that you’re very busy doing nothing’… ‘With all your experience, would you, or could you enlighten us to the tricks of the trade’???…
‘Ah…Well…It really is quite simple…There is always on beat and off beat…Always know where one is, that’s important, and know the three chords in any key, with the relative minor and your more than halfway there’…
‘ Ok…So it seems that’s all there is to know about you muso’s…What about the vocalist, and where should they be coming from’… ‘And with some words of wisdom, would you enlighten those would be if they could be singers of songs’???…
‘Well now let me try an get this right’… ‘Ok, so here it is, live the song when your singing, know the lyric and feel the phrase, know always where one is, and concentrate on diction’… ‘Yea, Bob Dylan said to me, always pronounce the last letter of every word you sing, he got it from Woody
I think’… ‘Oh yea, an if you’re an Aussie, for fuck sake sing like one’…
‘W’hoo…Lets lighten up with the lectures, and give my astute readers a little slack’… ‘ You’ve mentioned it before…What’s with this thing called Paspalum’?.. ‘Are they going to seed or is there going to be a CD’???…
‘Well, yes, lets see, there’s a bag of original songs that we’re about to mix, and when we’re ready we will spred the sound seed’… ‘ I reckon about this time next year it’s gunna happen’…
‘Well, time will tell, and I’m sure my My Space readers and U Tube viewers will patiently wait to except and digest the sounds of this intriguing and visually dynamic new band’… ‘Where might we see this Paspalum band’???…
‘Well…After enduring a ground breaking southern Q L D tour, we’re about to go into a three way mix mode, and sort this music out…Ah…Like there’s three song writers with four songs each, three strands to weave into a solid sounding piece of rope, with a little help from our friends…
So, just before the CD hits the streets, you can catch the Paspalum band performing at Jamisons on some Saturday nights, or every second Thursday night at the Bilambil Blues Club…So, when the CD sounds are out, we’re gunna aim at the festivals…We wanna be a festival band’…

‘Oh…Ok, then, my intrepid readers and viewers will just have to wait and see on that one’… ‘This is Alfred H Font, signing off again, from yet another boring and time consuming rave from the incorrigible Mr Bloke’…
