Dave Graney

And look, on some occasions, we get out of our Fove's bubble and speak to other musical luminaries.

And on this occasion, I've been lucky to nail down the ever-touring, the ever-erudite Dave Graney.

Hello, Dave.

Hello, how's it going, Joe? Very good.

I understand, well, I know that you're fresh relatively from the Northern Territory.

That's okay.

Great.

Well, Dave, I've asked you specifically on this interview to talk about, well, one of your many masterpieces, Hashish.

Well, I think he was wearing, Coxie was wearing his Moscow Olympics T-shirt.

I can't remember if it was the last or the second last gig that I believe Dave Graney gave him on his podcast.

Oh, really? Yeah, it was quite a nice, yeah, nice circle of things.

That might have been the second last one.

And my daughter and I, who are massive fans, 'cause my daughter went to Norwood Primary School and all the Norwood things, and we, we had a win.

We beat Sturt, our, our rivals from the other side of town, and, um, well, Dave Graney's band.

Yeah.

[laughs] Who we've had on the show before.

We were going to go to the Oval and watch the Mighty Redlegs play the qualifying final against Sturt.

Dave Graney's favourite football team.

But we stayed home, watched it on TV, and the leggies got up.

So they're straight into the granny.

But your humble narrator has never understood the Dandenongs and its foothills quite well enough to check the veracity of that statement.

Dave Graney would never live amongst bogans, would he? Not Puffing Billy! I persuaded my girlfriend at the time, Christine, to come with me to the show.

I think she'd rather have stayed in the city to celebrate the new year.

Maybe the writing was already on the wall.
