Went to Lizotte’s again tonight, god I love this place.
Rick Price was playing. I last saw him at the Rock Lilly many years ago. He was awesome then and he hasn’t lost it.
What a great show and, by the way everyone sang along, they were all fans. He played some originals, eg: ‘Heaven Knows’ and some new songs. I really liked the new ones he performed and purchased his new CD ‘Rick Price revisited’. Rick even signed it for me. I love the fact you can get up close and personal with the entertainers.
I took along two friends who didn’t know Ricks history or songs and they loved the show.
It’s countdown to our Flood Benefit lunch on 13th March, with the talent lined up for the day it will be epic. Get your tickets now guys, there are limited seats. Just ring Lizotte’s on 9984 9933.
Can’t wait.

The Boys are back in town
Our R-Team are back in town and gave our club a briefing on their assistance in Queensland complete with photos. We will have the photos available to you soon.
I have spoken with the family who have had three generations effected by the flood. Mum and Dad lost their home. First son and wife lost theirs. Second son, wife and two small children lost their home. They lost one rental property. Their primary produce business has gone. Everything they owned and worked for, gone.
I was told they applied for the government grant allowed for contents of house and received $170.00 each in total. Can you believe this?
They applied for the government grant for structural damage and were told they did not qualify. $0.00. They have applied for the primary producers grant of $25,000.00 but are not hopeful.
They did receive the governments $1,000.00 grant.
Their insurance company, at this time, have not given an indication of payment but have requested an itemized list of everything lost.
Can you imagine how long it will take to put this together?
The family thanked our R-Team for their help and said although there were others up there to help our team were not hampered by rules. Before our team arrived they just didn't know how or where to start.
Michael from EmbroidMe, Milton has also expressed his appreciation for our R-Teams efforts.
He is still in need of assistance to get his business up and running again. We need to get him a PABX system.
Can you help? Can you donate? Can you attend our Flood Benefit at Lizotte's?
Our job is far from over and so many are in need of our help.

Epic
If you were not at Lizotte’s last night you just can’t imagine what you missed.
Matt Zarb and 16 year old Minnie Marks had their guitars ripping out the music. My god for one so young hell she can play. And Matt, awesome.
There was a special guest in the audience, a friend of Matts. He called him up onto the stage and asked him to give an unscheduled performance. We sat there in awe as Daryl Lovegrove performed Nessun Dorma
It was incredible.
What a voice. What a bonus for the evening. He received a standing ovation.
In one of Daryl's motivational speeches he askes 'What is it about Nessun Dorma?' Then he tells us 'It is the closest piece of music man has ever come up with that parallels the act of lovemaking. Well for one thing it only takes about two and a half minutes.'
I was having a ball. After his set Matt came down and introduced himself to me and had a quick chat. Then it was time for the Hussy Hicks.
They were smooth and laid back to begin. Leesa Gentz has an incredible voice. Further into the set they upped the stakes. The place was kicking along.
Then they pulled out one of my favorite songs. Never expected this from such a young group. Now you know how, very often, you find no one can sing a song better than the original artist. Well not so in this case.
Hussy Hicks had ‘Ghost Riders in the Sky’ belting through that room, it was epic.
What a night!
Matty came down again after the show and had another chat. He is a really nice guy.
I’ve still got “Ghost Rider’ swimming around in my head, I just can’t believe how well those girls performed it, again I say, epic!
Having such a great night, I'm still on a high. I don't know how I am going to get any sleep.
