In the early days David Hosking played with John Coltrane. Along with John Coltrane; you know........along with his records. He was a bit of a child prodigy........was John Coltrane.
Truth is, David doesn't really like the saxophone except for its ability to sound like an elephant during mating season. John Coltrane was pretty good though.
David doesn't play jazz by the way.We can go back further into the history of David Hosking although not much further than this......David attended a Little Richard concert while nestled in his Mother's womb. It was the tour of Australia where Little Richard had some kind of religious awakening and decided to throw all his jewellery
into Sydney Harbour.
A few months later David's Mother was lying on the examination table in the family doctor's surgery. His name was Doctor Starr. While David's Mother, Dawn, lay on the surgery table, his father Jack and the doctor stood on either side of her arguing about the Australian Rules Football Grand Final that both had attended the day before. This is the football game that only Australians seem to understand; but that's another story. Jack barracked for (supported) Essendon, while Doctor Starr barracked for Melbourne. Essendon lost. After the argument, and Dawn's examination was finally complete, Dr Starr told Jack to take her to hospital or he wouldn't get any sleep that night, because Dawn was going into labor. As Dawn got up off the table her waters broke and went all over the Doctor's blue suede shoes, ruining them.That'll do for now....
