Hi Mick
Loved seeing you perform in Adelaide on the 14th January 2009. It was a memorable night. Great show. Even the sound guy stuffing up (I was right next to him) didn't ruin it. U guys are fantastic.
Thankyou for your music :)
Sorry to hear you left the Bad Seeds; I guess it was time. Does that mean you have become a 'good seed". Looking forward to hearing your solo stuff. regards, O.S.
Thanks for the add Mick I really liked what you did with Rowland at Mt Buller - And the new young bands you got together there. Apart from being an inspiration musically you are great catalyst for others.
