Well another great time at the Parkes, Elvis Festival. Did two gigs at the Spicer Caravan Park to a great group of followers and others who had never seen me before. At last nights gig we auctioned off a wonderful piece of Elvis Memorabilia which was kindly donated by a couple who follow me. A massive thanks to them, and to the couple who also follow me and purchased the piece for $370. That money along with the other donations provided rounded up to $506 in total to be donated to Integra Service Dogs Australia. A big thank also to Tow Ball Barry, a great friend who as always helps me with setting up and packing up. And lastly to the two wonderful park managers, Mark and Kylie who made this all possible. Hope to see you in Tamworth. Will post times and days over the next couple of days.

Had the pleasure of meeting and having a chat to Mahalia Barnes and the band before her performance at Tallagandra Hill Winery tonight. Lovely lady, exceptional voice. Great night, great music, wonderful food with the two most important beings in my life. My wife Oana and Service Dog and Angel Bella. Thanks to the wonderful hosts David and Mary and all the staff.

Almost the end of the week. Really looking forward to my next gig at the Pulp Cafe in Nichols ACT this Saturday, 07 October 2023 from 10:30am to 14:30pm. Come along, have a coffee or lunch and feel free to say hi.
