about

About two years ago
I had the pleasure of meeting
A really interesting gent
eccentric
sharp wit
an Australian larrikin
a bit of an enigma to say the least
His face hidden by a huge bushy grey beard
Full of stories
And I could never really tell
If they were true or not
"Never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn"
He told me that he'd written some songs
But in the same breath
He told me he wasn't very good
Said he couldn't sing
And that his guitar playing was terrible
Mostly he'd been told to give it up
And it had become a hobby
Life had got in the way
and his chance at making music
seemed to have passed him by
So I asked him to play me a song
and I sat down expecting the worst
He sang me a song called
Streets Of Chinatown
I could barely speak when he finished
And damn if it didn't bring tears to my eyes
I've been playing and
listening to music for so long
it's not very often that a song
hits
you
like
a
piano
falling
from a great height
at the most unexpected moment
from the most unassuming place
I still don’t know whether those
Lyrics are based on truth or not
But they seemed so honest
And sincere
I introduced him to my friend
Michael Carpenter
and we produced together
a few tracks for him
Invited some friends to get involved
Pour a glass of the beverage
Of your choice
and listen to
Streets Of Chinatown..then the rest

Wire Bluthe Morisset, Australia

Wire Bluthe is an eccentric, an enigma and a true Australian larrikin. But first and foremost he's a storyteller. Bluthe can often be heard saying "Never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn" That philosophy is the yardstick across an album that deals with addiction, loss, childhood memories , nostalgia and rediscovery. ... more
