Dr. Finbar Sneezes Some Disease 


Good day to you all,


This email is coming to you from a non-standard source, since Neil's
regular account seems to be having a breakdown. Professionals have been
called in to construct a psychological profile, and hopefully it will
be feeling better soon.

LAST WEEK

Pete and Neil travelled to Lina's house to record the drums for our
upcoming entry to Triple J's unearthed competition. In addition, we
recorded a further three drum tracks for our upcoming, and as yet,
untitled, EP. Pete drummed the afternoon away, while Neil sat
cross-legged in front of the recording console with his hands firmly
clasped over his ears in a futile attempt to avoid sonic damage. At
one point, during a lull in proceedings, Fred Astaire surfaced from
his grave and did a charming tap routine around & involving Pete's drum
kit.  Anyone who's seen Easter Parade will know what we mean. Afterwards,
we made him a cup of tea. Then we gave him a shovel so he could dig
himself back in.

We are most grateful to Lina for providing such a lovely environment for
our noise-polution.

THIS WEEK

We continue our recording project on Saturday at Pete's place, where we'll
lay down guitar, bass and vocals. Sunday, we mix. If the excitement generated
by this procedure overwhelms us, we promise to lie down for a while.

DR. FINBAR COMPETITION Mk. IV

Provide a caption for the photo of Sam which we sent you a couple of emails
ago. You have until 5pm Wednesday to get you entry in.

OLD MAN PETE

Next Thursday evening we will be doing something for Pete's birthday. He turns
thirty. You are invited to watch. It should be fun. In fact, we can hear his
joints creaking in anticipation already. More details to follow next week.


Squawk to you later,

The Dr. Finbar Trio
