THE GROOVE IS ON THE MOOVE!
Dave O'Leary and Dave Sell are back in the groove mobile again:
"Son House once said
"the blues ain't nuth'n but a man think'n bout 'is woman"
Well I live with a woman who loves me with passion and hates with vengeance - so I write songs about her and me...
…My house is built by a train line; At 3 am in the morning I awake to the sound of the picture frames vibrating on the walls;
The thud builds till I can hardly hear a thing...
so I write about that too.
I bought my first Blues album at 19 "Little Walter quarter to twelve" from "Gas Light" in Melbourne.
I've hitchhiked from Victoria to Darwin and back and driven there
in a beat-up old Holden HG Kingswood,"
I've left the Highlands a dozen times but as the proverb goes.
"you know. dogs…and… vomit".
In the old days I played anywhere to anyone who had ears to listen,
Terry sat on a Darwin Veranda slapping bugs while he taught me Slide.
Back in Melbourne I met my first Mistress, the "Takamine"
(Japanese for Bloody good Guitar)
I busked on street corners, played in stinking smoked
filled pubs and in cheap coffee shops.($25 and a meal
for free) In 1999 Exeter Blues was formed as a 4 piece
with influence from Paul Butterfield & Mike Bloomfield,
BB King & Early Fleetwood Mac.
At the 2000 Australian Blues Festival we were entered
in a busking competition as well as performing many
gigs in the Southern Highlands, & regulars at the
Sutton Forest Inn, the band metamorphosed a few times
as members and their agendas reshaped the size and sound,
during which the music took on it's own life and the
"groove " was born.
