Fantastic beautiful city Neo. Here is a tourist promo video of Wellington.

Well, now we know why your videos are so good - you come from the "City of cool"!!! 
Thanks!!
Thanks - that's a good video!!
I'm going to cheat (kinda) and show this video of Perth an the surrounds - it was made by a guy I used to work with, and we both had an interest in photography, he's gone on to become quite well respected, and has some of his photography in the local newspaper (frequently) and features on the Tourism WA website:

He was testing out his (newish) drone at the time ...
This is a copy of the demo tape one of my bands (Sideshow) had, it's recorded straight from the desk, so it's not brilliant quality, but in 1996 it was passable

Neo I am enjoying what everyone is adding to the thread. More the merrier keep it going. I havent been to Perth but everyone I know who goes there tells me it's a beautiful city. My wife visited Fremantle on a ship she was on and loved the place. A young guy who use to do a bit of guitar for me loves playing music in the bars around Fremantle and also in Perth itself. My friend's son use to work out of Perth driving trucks from Perth to Port Headland. Another friend of mine son lived there and life was going good until his other half murdered their 22month old son at Hillarys Boat Harbour. She had claimed at the time that the boy unfastened himself from his stroller while her back was turned but when police reviewed CCTV footage her story did not add up. Thats my two bobs worth on Perth.
Gosh - all I have on NZ is that my Mum went there (think it was her honeymoon), and loved it - she wanted to go back, but unfortunately the cancer came back instead and she passed in 2006.
I grew up very close to the Hillarys boat harbour, and used to go fishing there as a kid (before it was a harbour!), think I played some gigs there (at the old pub, not the new one), definitely played gigs some in Freo, and a few in Perth, never been as far North as Port Hedland, but they get to 50 degrees centigrade up there!!!

what does chorus and phrasing mean ?
There are some good audio examples on this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorus_effect
Which is probably easier than trying to explain it
Crikey, that's a lot of guitars!!! I'm somewhere around the 10 - 15 mark and thinking I need to sell a few 
I've been thinking seriously about a uke.
My wife just bought herself a new uke that arrived today - I'll grab a pic and some details as to where she got it ... it's puuurrrrty ....
My oldest stepson emigrated to Oz about 10 years ago and we've visited twice. He was living in a suburb of Perth called Mandurah, which is around 60 miles away...
I'm at the other end - about 40km's North of the CBD - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joondalup

That was fun. I'm sure your child was just fine after all.
Thank you - yes, I seem to recall the "emergency" was turning the TV channel ... 
BTW, that was when you oldest one was young, now I do duo's with him (occasionally)
Cheers

[edit] Oops, removed the non-Christmas song[/edit]
Neo
Great performance.
Your wife has an outstanding voice!
I too liked the children in the background - it made the song feel quite "Christmasy"
Thanks - and Merry Xmas to you too!!
Neo you and your fantastic guitar and your wife cool vocals make you two a beautiful duo. The kids backing vocal adds to the videos warm family vibe,
Thanks!!!

Not sure of the age, I got it second hand a couple of years ago now, but I haven't really been using it that much ...
watching that vid is still a great lesson in why things work
I'm watching it right now
:thumbsup:
Neo your a very talented music man. I enjoy your videos and your warm family setting.
Thanks
I know macs and and pc's that one has to be the oldest working mac I have seen in a long time. If memory serves correctly this one had only large floppies.
The Mac in the first pic is a Mac Plus, this one came standard with a 3.5" drive, but I had a secondary (external) drive, plus a massive HD20, 20 Megabyte external hard disk ...
The Mac with the 8 track connected to it (and the fellow from South Park on the monitor) is a 6200, which has a 3.5" drive, and an internal 600Mb drive - it's had a variety of external HD's attached over the years as backups. The photo of this one was actually the last time it worked, the day after this, it wouldn't turn on, probably leaky capacitors in the PSU, as was common for those era Macs - I was donated a 7200 by a friend and managed to transfer the rest of the files over ...
I also bought a Mac Cube, because I've always liked them, and retro-fitted it with a G4 Stealth card, there is a modern day one being sold here: http://alexhixon.com/projects/jamport/index.html

I'm still seeing a few spam topics, but not as many as I have seen i the past ... !!!
Here is a very short blast on the guitar from me to all you chordies.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lmEyIJyp7E
Those drawings were pretty impressive; I'm still at the "stick figure" stage The song was pretty good, but I think one of the strings wasn't quite in tune ... so it must be true that it happens to the best of us ...
Cheers

Here you go. Christmas for Cowboys: https://soundcloud.com/user-35218982/ch … oys-cfsotm
That was really good - I can't remember ever hearing that song, although my Mum was a big John Denver fan. When she passed away I got all her old records, so I may even have it in my collection and not know it. Really suited your voice!!!
Cheers

A late entry (?) Jambalaya:
I crushed my thumb in a microphone stand, damn it hurts, so playing my wife's Uke with a pick ... I must admit I didn't know this song until we did it at our jam session last week, which is why I didn't try it before, but it's pretty easy to do (2 chords!!)
Enjoy!!

and i'd also appreciate knowing where you got that red/black 6-string or is it available only in Perth
Oops, sorry, missed this one, the guitar is a Denver, Model EF240BR:

I wasn't sure if they still existed, but it appears they do:

Mine is old, got it in the early 90's, and it was the best sounding guitar at the local music shop ...
