Coastie mis-typed.....he meant I play doggedly.....
folkie-dokie, 2-finger Travis-like thang, otherwise 50s/60s R&R mostly to drive my amps; I'm better w/ a soldering iron than a flat pick.

Capri-boy,
You've got Coastie imagining you in capris.

I got a feeling we're about to get a classic CoastPost--right up there with "Hatted Frau" and "Hottie Cow."

And what's that plant growing in the background?

I'm not familiar with it's botanical name, but we plant it here to keep the marauding ewes away, when they descend from the hills.
It apparently emits some kind of ferrognome which discourages their activity.
These ewe's ancestors were bred in the mid-19th century, to protect the women-folk while their blokes were away fighting the pesky natives.
Subsequent to that, they were adapted for use in the local coal mines. They were able to negotiate the narrow passages far more easily than the pit-ponies that were then used, thereby giving rise to the expression "Ewe-turn".
Now, a slight digression if you'll indulge me. The political party that begat our current Gummint, was born here on the West Coast. They very quickly perceived the value of the Ewe-turn, and have managed to make an art-form of it !
Back to the edumicative bit...
Some of the coal miners kept them domestically, to protect their virgin daughters, but since there are, reportedly, no virgins here now over the age of 11 (the very last one having apparently succumbed to her brother's advances at the miner's Christmas party of '69), the remnants fled to the hills.
Small numbers still roam the hills, and a recently made film documents their existence. Here's a small snippet of the film on Ewe Tube..........

Nice to have a bit of Coastie's family history (see above). Unfortunately the ewetube link is so obscene you have to prove you are over 18 to view it - so having delicate sensibilities, I declined. No doubt it involved the application of vegemite to delicate parts of a ewe's anatomy.

Coastie,
You need to be honored with some sort of shrine or institute. I think the forum should petition the NZ gummint to establish the Department of Coastieness. Or revive the monarchy with Prince Coastie. Or give you the title of Honorary Ferro Gnome. Or let you tour with the Coasters. Or at least name a nut house after you.
