bruce is going to kill me for this...
welcome to the first edition of "caption that photo"!
I've been totally reorganising my home office and came across a box full of gems including this! None other than the internationally famous Catholic educator Professor Thomas Groome engaged in a singalong downunder, with Bruce (of the infamous Bruce M Allstars) and George D. circa 1995.
Bruce was playing my guitar and playing his usual 3 chords (just think Nashville... both kinds of music... country AND western...). Bruce can play EVERY song written in 3 chords before 1972 - and we've played them in a few places, so I DO know. (OK, he can play 4, and his Martin is a D-35!!) George might be playing the harmonica... or not. You decide.
Tom Groome..... what is he thinking, saying or singing?
I have more than a few captions in mind, but it's over to you to fill in the blanks.
Captions please! This deserves one.
Bruce, I hope we are still friends after this. And if we're not, I have a few more "All Stars" photos.
that "box of gems" comment has made some other people VERY nervous....
but I would never abuse the Internet in that way.
I think Tom was saying how much better I played Craig's guitar than Craig did. By the way, I've got a picture of Craig Mitchell playing guitar with a cowboy hat on. Can I post it here?

nice try, bruce. of course you play C&W better than me. but that sure isn't what's on his face... is he singing about whisky, trucks or hih Mom? And does George have his dentures stuck? those are my questions.
and no, you can't post pics on my blog... but I can!

Nothing quite like someone taking pics of you when you are singing. I burned a few in which I look as though I was channeling Mick Jaggar and Ozzy Osbourne's love child.
Boy that hurts if you stop and think about it. Feel free to delete that mental picture.

i'd love to see that chris.
actually, I think Tom is thinking "Forget this Duncan guy, just give me the beer. This camp coffee is terrible."
and "how can one person string 62 songs together with just three chords without a break?"
and "checked shirts are back in? dang! I just threw them out!"
and "maybe I should give that guy on the left MY denture cement!"

Goodness me - some things never change huh?
Amazes me what you can do with 3-4 chords - always has, always will! :)

Funny. I require reading from Groome for my classes at Taylor University. I think he is thinking: "There is a dialectical relationship between whether I should faint or scream. I'm looking forward to the dialogical nature of critical reflection rather than being imprisoned by the garrulous primordial guitar playing."
All the best to you and Tom.
