The circle of life

Many years ago, my musical career took a few turns into various other areas of the music industry. I was part of a joint venture with a friend of mine called Central West Road Crews. We basically supplied road crew or laborer's to top Australian acts touring the central west of NSW. It was no big money spinner, but as my first entrepreneurial project in my life, it was a minor success. During this venture, we supplied road crew for such acts as James Reyne, The Angels, The Hoodoo Guru's, Spy V Spy, Johnny Deisel, The Delltones, Kevin Bloody Wilson, The Choirboys, The Radiators, Icehouse and Wickety Wak to name the ones I remember off hand. It was a good part time business that made a few dollars for us and a great many of unemployed people in Orange NSW for a short time. It was also a great way to get to see and meet some of Australia's greatest rock n roll hero's. One particular person I remember was Greg Doolan from Wickety Wak. A very witty talented entertainer. Well many years have passed since those road crew days, but today I stumbled across an ad in a local paper for a singer/guitarist wanted for a duo. The contact on the ad said Greg Doolan. I didn't believe it. So I rang Greg and low and behold, it was the same Greg Doolan. It's funny how the circle of life brings you around sometimes. People we encounter through the years even in the smallest way can come back to cross our paths even in the distant future. It really is a small world.
