Marvellous Melbourne and musicians

What do you call someone who hangs around musicians? A drummer!, according to cousin David (a percussionist himself). Whatever the reason, everywhere we went we couldn't get away from these groupies.

Initial contact was made at the Narooma Blues Festival (aka something else this year), so it wasn't surprising. Legendary Aussie rocker Lonnie Lee was supported by his Leemen who included Dave's mate Leon Issacson.
