FD:  And I think there's something about the, the saxophone that goes so well with
    guitar and vice versa.

    Now talking about the tour (Brush with the Blues) here in Australia now, You are

    doing the Blues Guitar Roadshow kicking off tomorrow night here in Warrnambool,
    with some pretty heavy guitarists like Dave Hole, John McNamara, people like that…

    TW:  I mean, if I were a guitar player,

    I'd be trembling in my boots right now.
    [chuckles] I don't think I, I couldn't, uh,
    compete  with  that  competition,  you

    know? But it's amazing because Geoff,
    Achison    told  us  about  this  idea  of
    joining the Blues Guitar Roadshow and

    luckily,  everyone was on board with
    it, on board with bringing a saxophone
    and  I’m  really  excited  to  play  with

    McNamarra  Project  as  well  and  they

    blew  my  socks  off  absolutely  great
    music as well.

    FD:      Well,  well,  you'll  also  meet,  a

    couple  of  local  Warrnambool  people
    that are in the band tomorrow night.
    Lee  Morgan  is  an  amazing  guitarist

    based right here in Warrnambool and,
    Eddy Boyle, a presenter on 3WAY FM

    and a Blues legend in his own right as
    a  Harmonica  player,  you’ll  no  doubt
    meet Eddy but be prepared he loves a
    chat.


    TW:  (chuckles) Well, me too, I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.

    FD:    And  then,  and  then  obviously  after,  the  three  dates  with  the  Blues  Guitar

    Roadshow, you and Geoff are doing a fairly lengthy tour, “Brush with the Blues”
    shows that carries through, right through until the first of March at the St Kilda Blues
    Festival in Melbourne.


    TW:  Yeah, we've got about 11 dates in the diary, thanks to Reg (Bancroft) our genius
    tour manager.

    TW:  And, and then we're not stopping there. We're doing all these fantastic gigs,

    all our favourite ones from last year’s Australian tour but then we’re heading to the
