Sorry I haven’t had a chance to log in since I got here. The places I’ve been and the people I’ve met have been way out of my normal realm. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you some of the wildest experiences we’ve had for security reasons but suffice it to say, we now know something of the conditions and experiences of the troops here. We have played in several places in the middle east. One of them is Taren Kowt in Afghanistan. It is a camp run by the Dutch but with Australians well represented. The Australians have such a great mix of professionalism and human-ness which is unique among all the nations represented here. It is SO the right thing to do to come here and entertain them. They are very concerned for the local population and their horrendous predicament. The base hospital sees many more locals than troops. They are constantly trying to save the lives of Afghans caught up in the horror. They are helping rebuild and train and advise. Playing again tonight and then we’re off home.
It’s awesome getting to know the other performers, Dianna Corcoran, Jackson, Clinton and James from Violet Flames, Dave Jory and of course my band Glen Reither, Adam Miller, Warren Jackson and Kit Riley. Great to share the experience with them and I mean EXPERIENCE!
That’s it for now. Photos coming.
