When I met DH, I became part of his circle of friends. Some of these friends of his, he had known since he was a teenager. Errol was one of these friends. In their late teens, DH and Errol were in a band called Sons of Man. This photo was taken towards the end of the 1960s
DH is in the middle and he was the lead singer. Errol is on the end on right-hand side and he was the drummer. This next photo shows the band performing at the Enoggera Memorial Hall...you can just see Errol on those drums!
Now let's move to the present day...
Errol and his wife have recently set off on their 'Grey Nomad' adventure, travelling in their motor home that Errol built. ( he started his working life in the 'coach building' trade)
We have been enjoying their photos this week and in particular this one taken at Winton...
Don't you love it? Lol. Once a drummer, always a drummer!!
What gorgeous photos, love the drummer one.
ReplyDeleteMaria, I worked with a drummer in an earlier life. Sit him at a table with a knife and fork and he couldn't help himself. He'd start tapping away!
ReplyDeleteHi Maria,love the pics and how cool hubby was in a band,it's nice when friendship continue over many years xx
ReplyDeleteLove old photos. Yup old drummers never die. They go on drumming lol
ReplyDeleteHave a blast on your trip Errol xx
Enjoyed reading this story. I didn't recognise Errol with his facial hair. Hope he and Barb have a wonderful time cruising around the country in their van. Rather envious, actually. :-)
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard the term "grey nomad" before, but I like it. What a great adventure. My grandsons would love that playground drum set!
