The title of this post is the well known greeting of IT Tech’s around the world on “SysAdmin Day“. The common response being “System’s down to you too!” Yes, today is the one day of the year we acknowledge the hardworking (coff!) dedicated (coff!) IT People around the world.

So.. “System’s down, Everybody! ” From YTruly.Net :-)

Musician’s Partner

Published on July 27, 2006 in Gigs, My Life and My Work. 3 Comments

By being in a relationship with me, Mel soon learned of the “added” roles a Musician’s partner takes on. Some of which include:

- Roadie
She will often be landed with helping me load and unload my gear for gigs
- Groupie
She will often be dragged along to gigs to watch me play for the 100th time
- Audience
She will most likely end up being a sounding board for works that are “in production”.
- Tech
Loaded with batteries, capos, strings and various other spares “just in case”.

In my hunt for a new Maton the other day, Mel made me so proud by pulling out of her purse a spare plectrum she had lifted from my supply, just in case I didn’t have one on any particular day. That’s the way!!

Well my life as a “twenty-something” year old is drawing to a close. Last night night (at exactly 12:07am, sorry again Mum!) marked the beginning of the last year of my youth, and the countdown to the start of my 3rd decade on the planet. So I’m gonna try my best to make it a good one! Wish me luck :)
