I USED TO LOVE THAT GUN BELT GUITAR STRAP. I USED TO

 

WEAR IT A LOT WHEN I WAS IN "THE BENTBEAKS" ANOTHER

 

GREAT ADELAIDE MOD BAND I WAS IN FROM THE MID SIXTIES.

 

 

 

 

THE FESTIVAL THEATRE ADELAIDE.

 

WHAT A MAGNIFICENT VENUE IT WAS TO PLAY IN.

 

 

 

THE ST KILDA PALAIS IN MELBOURNE.  ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. THIS BUILDING IS SO INTERESTING

EVEN HAS A RESTRAUANT WAY DOWN UNDER THE STAGE FOR BAND AND CREW.

THE AVENGERS

[I think that was our name?]

PHOTO WAS TAKEN AROUND 1961 or 1962 IN THE BACK YARD.

WE WERE ABOUT 14 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME.

 

THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTED FOR GRAHAM AND MYSELF.

MY FIRST BAND WITH MY VERY BEST FRIEND GRAHAM COX ON DRUMS AND DAVID BURNS ON RHYTHM, WE ALL LIVED IN THE SAME AREA. JOHN CARE MY NEIGHBOUR ALSO PLAYED BASS.

 

I MADE THESE TWO GUITARS AT WOODWORK CLASS AT GOODWOOD BOYS TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL WHERE I ATTENDED FOR THREE YEARS BEFORE GOING TO MARION HIGH SCHOOL. I MANAGED TO WIN THE FIRST PRIZE IN WOODWORK THE YEAR I MADE THESE. MY BROTHER JOHN HELPED A GREAT DEAL DOING THE ELECTRICAL AND CHROME PLATING. I REMEMBER GOING INTO ALLAN'S MUSIC SHOP IN GAWLER PLACE WITH JOHN AND I LAYED BUTCHERS PAPER ON THE FLOOR AND SIMPLY TRACED A FENDER GUITAR SHAPE. THAT WAS ALL OF THE DESIGN WORK DONE; THE REST WAS DONE IN WOODWORK CLASS.

THESE WERE EXCITING TIMES. WE COULDN NOT AFFORD TO BUY EQUIPMENT LIKE KIDS DO TODAY.

MY BROTHER JOHN WAS ALSO IN THE BAND BUT IS PROBABLY TAKING THE PICTURE. GRAHAM AND I DISCOVERED MUSIC TOGETHER GETTING TOGETHER AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN AND PRACTICE SHADOWS INSTRUMENTALS. WE WERE INSEPERABLE IN THOSE DAYS. EVEN ON THE TENNIS COURTS OUR TENNIS RAQUETS BECAME GUITARS.

THEY WERE SOME OF THE VERY BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE.

 

 

Colonel Light Gardens Tennis Club.

Peter Tilbrook 2nd from the right

Graham Cox at the end  both aged about 14 years old.

Another best mate Neville Jenkins on the left of the picture.

Tennis was a great meeting place 5 days a week to talk about music.

 

Ironically, today in 2014 on the Club wall behind where I am standing is a large Sponsors sign which reads

THE MASTERS APPRENTICES HAIR SALON.

That freaked me out when I first saw it that given that a few years after this team photo was taken

I joined THE MASTERS APPRENTICES.
