Yes sir, the genuwine sailor man cruising Queensland waters with a boatload of instruments on the good ship REQUEST ! Rumours are only rumours, but it is said that after seeing the film WOODSTOCK he learned to play some of those tunes in the back of the school bus with maori singers the Kingi Brothers from Waiherere Pa. The truth is that he ran away from home ( a lemon farm in NZ ) to surf at Bells Beach in 1970 , but awoke five years later in a haze in a little commune in Nimbin after doing what the roman's do. The next day he hitched a ride to the beach to go for that surf but ended up as a snapper & lobster fisherman on NSW North Coast . Just to clear the head, you know how it is folks ! In 1979 he bribed the Maritime Services Board to give him a skippers ticket and spent the next twenty years of sailing in yachts and working at sea . Moved ashore for a while and completed journalism and art courses and enjoyed a few wives and three kids ( Hi Beki, Hi Dan, Hi Will ) over the decades. Beki is a beautiful voice and good guitar and banjo picker who lives in the UK. Lately been pickin tunes & recording with cousin Joe Huttton from Whangerei, Great Scott the Human Shaker & Sheepdog Lee Wilson. LOVE TO JAM - LOVE TO SURF - LOVE TO LAUGH - Folks, ain't it good to be alive ! ! ! Captain Tricko also works as a sailing instructor for SUNSHINE SAILING - based at Mooloolaba Wharf.
