END OF SHOW.
Suzie: Craig, what are you playing for us?
Craig: It�s called Take A Hit Off This.
Terry: By the way, what�s in the rider? Any outrageous demands?
Suzie: [laughs]
Craig: Only brown M & M�s. That�s it.
Terry: Aw, come on!
Suzie: That�s easy!
Terry: Would you promise at least once before you leave tonight to do this kick? [Cd pic]
Craig: Yeah, sure.
Terry: Would you?
Craig: I�ll do it, yeah.
Terry: Right off the top?
Craig: As we go out of the show, wouldn�t that be the way to go?
Terry: That�d be the way to go.
Craig: Okay, here we go.
Suzie Wall & Terry Dave Mulligan: Craig Northey, ladies and gentlemen.
[This is where Terry leaps in enthusiastically and joins band halfway thru..with/on Dougs' microphone. He put his thick eyeglasses on Doug.Terry didn't have to ask questions that day, he already knew the answers and words to the songs]
~Back in the "kitchen" later~
Terry: I love the fact that you�re here with the models!
Craig: Well I was thinking the best thing to do for a band is - bring them in right before they play and sit them right front of the band and then have the light part.
Terry: Before the band goes on, you�ve had that discussion about thongs? Not thongs?
Craig: Sure yeah. VPL, no VPL.
Terry: That�s... uh?
Suzie: Did you miss, did you get that, VPL?
Terry: What is VPL?
Suzie: Visible Panty Lines.
[Craig and Suzie talk at same time]
Craig: It�s a Woody Allen reference. Suzie: How do you know that Craig? Oh, okay there you go -- Craig: --There you go.
Terry: You�re more than a just musician...
Craig: I�m a Woody Allen fan.
Terry: --You�re a singer/songwriter
Bruce Allen: The reason he can talk about that is because musicians don�t do anything at all day but watch television.
Terry: Ah, okay.
Bruce: So you see that�s why he can pick up all this...little knowledges.
Terry: Well you would know that cos you�re in this business. What are you doing? What�s your day like?
Bruce: My day stinks.
[Farther into same chat at the table.]
Bruce Allen: But you know, Craig. It�s true that guys can make records , John Cloggner (sp?), a legendary in our gang was up here last week. Said guys were making records on it for $15, 000 with a postal unit and an Apple computer, is that correct? Not being computer literate, but they can do that? Is that how that�s done? [Say that at the speed of light]
Craig: Well some of it was done in LA with a lot more gear, but not very much of it. Most of it was done in my studio, which is the same thing. It�s a computer� I mean, Junior gets a studio for Christmas nowadays, the technologies changed so much.
