Hi folks,Just to let all you folks know that Simmo's back on board after sneaking off with Mrs Simmo up to Bali for a couple of weeks break 
,we had a wonderful time,nice small hotel,found some great eating places and just generally veggie..ing out as we say over here ( relaxing ).Weather was about the same as home but just a bit more humid,temps around the 30's with just a touch of monsoonal rain at times,the other bonus is its only a three & a quarter hour flight from Perth also the exchange rate favours us at the moment...$AU100.00 gets you about one million Indonesian rupiah,so it doesn't make it such an expensive break.I couldn't resist taking my ac guitar with me so I could just have a bit of time to learn a couple of new songs.I have probably missed a couple of birthdays etc so belated wishes to those folks.I am back into the fray his coming week with the oldies gigs plus the phone was banked up with heaps of messages re music,had a quick look through the latest posts & I must agree with all of the comments on performing live 'even though in a lot of venues I play at, dementia homes, and the like I have to go nonstop with the singing, talking & just trying to keep the folks attention for usually about a bit over an hour & at the end of it I feel as though I have done a full days work,I go home sometimes pretty knackered, I must admit I do get a great deal of satisfaction out of it all.I suppose a lot of the normal oldies gigs I do senior groups etc I still give it my 100% but come away with a different sort of satisfaction.Well thats Simmo's lot for now 11.30 pm & its been a long day...PS...the hotel we stayed at had a bit of entertainment some evenings so guess what ...the Oldies..
got up & did a couple of numbers from which we have received a couple of " grainy" pics of "The Simmo's in action" emailed to us from the hotel so I will try to get them on the site.best wishes to all...The Simmo's
