Brindle Style

“Music is in crisis. Like many other basic human values and “instincts” it has been privatised, corporatised, manipulated and commodified. The traditions of elementary communication, sorrow and hope expressed through music have now become a marketable product. It is also a job opportunity for the practitioner, and a money-spinner for everybody else involved in getting the listener and performer in the same room. The traditional meaning of music that reaches back for thousands of years is in danger, and that is where the focus should be.”

Paul Green:    Was talkng  to Jack before  Christmas we had  a  lil band  the  Check- out  Chicks  or  something.  He and  I and  Willie  Qua  kept in touch.  We did Beef and Bourbon in Kings Cross. Haven't  worked  with Jack  for  12  years. When you know how much those  people  contribute and  the imposters  get off  scot  free. He  did the work.Next to these  people I'm an imposter.  

Maiia: Which work?

Paul Green: Dedication  and  learning properly and nurturing  others along the  way.  Ive  felt  their  passion, standing alongside  and their teachings. Wonderfull musician.  Told  you about  how  I used  to write   dots  on the  train ? Bouncin' all over the shop, ink  all    over the page,  on me   nose,  up me  arse. looked like a  spider  on acid - I'd be  writin'  Jackies  parts, was  on the  floor  pluggin me  shit in and  I heard  exactly  what I wanted   note  for  note, dunno how he could read it. 

He  came  to Australia  with a  buncha fellow  wogs -Syrius, went on to make our  first fusion band. 

Maiia: why pick Australia?  very limited audience, deadset easy to rise up the layers if ya really want to I spose.

Paul Green: After  living  in communist Hungary ?  War torn,  rip torn.. yeah  i agree  but that was  early 70's    - must be  60  i spose  now.
