Jack Flash

Missing image




flying fingers, hair whipped in
magnificent frenzy...drums thumping
vocals beseeching in melancholy tones
just the local boys masquerading for awhile
seducing the crowd with a winsome smile

 



pumping rhythms set feet a-tapping
old ones, young ones, all the same
mosh pit, stage jumping, part of the show
music that ignites a fire, wild and free
takes me to a place where I would rather be

      Glad you liked it, sweetness. Looey plays the most amazing violin/fiddle music which is what makes the band so good. Think Dropkick Murphys or the Pogues with an Australian flavour...I'll send you the CD during the week.

      Loving you heaps and lots
      Always
      Mum
