A 36-hour hell drive across the dead heart in a beat-up HQ V8 with no windscreen, a dodgy tape deck, a bottle of Hankey Bannister Scotch Whiskey, an eski of Corona, plenty to smoke, and the sure knowledge that if you stop they’ll catch you - BEWARE THE NIGHTRIDER
On a hot december night a phone call came through."We need some no bullshit rock n roll" 'Ill get on it right away". I jumped in my car and drove I ended up parked outside a house ,not any house but one from which a sound was comming ,there was a wailing and a blowing,"this will be the place" i said. When I sashayed up to the door I was greeted by a man he had 6 harmonicas in his mouth ,I asked can you play , he gave me an enil look and said "what key" I looked him straight in the eye and said "the key of A"
He spat out 5 harmonicas leaving the last harp there to blow on ,not only was it A but it was fuckin "A" for ace.
We hi tailed it out of there to a local watering hole called 'the whores arms'
.After 2 hours we had a plan it was so simple why hadn't I seen it before?
