Do we have any recorded feet of him ever doing that to anyone ever? Or is this just what Ian would do?

Well, we do have a feat of him talking to Dr. Doom on the moon, so he can fly up there, so it wouldn't take much for him to lift someone up.

But has he ever done it in battle? I don't know.

He's done a lot of crazy things in battle.

Like, he's a master strategist, and if he figures out that Vandal, he's not beating him, he might just fly him up and just let go and be like, battlefield removal.

So he doesn't even have to die in space.

But if that works...

you know more than I do, so please tell us what's

Three minutes on the clock, starting now.

All right, so let's jump into this.

We got Vlad Dracula.

He started out as Vlad, and I forgot his last name.

We're just going to keep going, though.

So he is a vampire with over 500 years.

So...

Three minutes on the clock for Ian, starting now.

[laughs]

And I don't wanna see this town no more.

Wasting my days on a factory floor.

And the first thing you know I'll be back in Bow River again.

So anytime you want babe.

You can come around.

With only six days separating me and the great typing.

Come on, Ian.

Despite all the hard work and everything that goes into it, those planets align and you think, how did that even happen?

The chances, you know, just, for example, you know, meeting Don Walker the first time, that was really strange.

I'm still finishing off high school in Adelaide.

And on the weekends, you just meet up with different musicians that you never met before for a jam and just hire a town hall.

And we were doing that one.

It was Norwood Town Hall one time.

We were...

Take us for a walk, Ian Moss.

Now, I didn't expect to meet him this way, but Ian might wanna just tell a bit of the story of how he ended up in the studio with me, and it was quite the surprise.

Well, we're going back, uh, just a little bit.

We, uh, we, we're sort of talking about this, thinking, "Yeah, when was it? About 2009, 2010?" Then we finally just jumped on, uh, on Mr.-- on Dr.

Google there, and it was back in 2004 where Troy was recording.

You were taking a bit of a departure, I guess, from, uh, the- His regular thing and decided to do an album of, uh, blues and soul songs-

There is a-

a-In shadows where we don't belong.

Living in darkness to hide our own.

Yeah, there's

a beautiful bluesy voice coming up through the monitors and said, I've got to get in on this.

I pulled out my AR-15 and forced my way in.

And said, let me in.

I

What are you going to choose?

Oh, we've got this.

We're going to do one about rivers.

Now, I didn't expect to meet him this way, but Ian might wanna just tell a bit of the story of how he ended up in the studio with me, and it was quite the surprise.

Well, we're going back, uh, just a little bit.

We've, we- we're sort of talking about this thing.

Yeah, when was it? About 2009, 2010.

Then we finally just jumped on, uh, on Mr.... on Dr. Google there, and it was back in 2004.

Troy was recording.

He'd taken a bit of a departure, I guess, from, uh, his regular thing and decided to do an album of, uh, blues and soul songs-

Don, Don Walker from Chisel.

And

I don't want to see this town no more.

My days on a factory floor And the first thing you know I'll be back on Bow River again Anytime it won't be You can come around But only six days Separating me And the great tie pin I've been working hard Twelve hours a day The money I save won't buy my youth again.

I'm going for the heat, babe,

another engine

lying.

Too many years in all my mind.

First set of wheels heading back and forth ever again.

You know.

And then, and then finally sort of met up and did some recording in, uh, about 2009, 2010.

Troy will tell you all about that.

What are you going to choose?

Oh, we've got this...

Uh, we're gonna do one about a, you know, rivers or, or it was, river works so well in a, a song title.

They're available via ianmoss.com.au and troycassidaly.com.au. Now, tell us about these very special VIP experience tickets.

A fairly recent thing, normally we might meet people.

It's good to meet people and be able to chat to people.

We'd normally do that after the show.

We're able to give audiences a lot more by actually inviting them to the pre-show, and that is us when we're setting up in the afternoon, we're running through a few songs, we're checking everything works, and it's a chance for us to play some songs that we're not going to play on the night.

And so we invite people to come along and not only enjoy some songs that they're not going to hear on the night, but actually just get a chance to observe what happens behind the scenes, so to speak.

Are there any plans for any further releases with you two together, like a studio album or another live album somewhere in your next travels?

Nothing lined up yet, but it's those things, you know, we'll just let things flow and we're both still keen on writing material.

How did, how did you two get together and decide what we're gonna do an album, we're gonna do a tour?

Well, I like to think the seed was probably planted quite, quite some ...

Um, 15 years ago now, Troy had taken a bit of a departure from his regular thing and, uh, got stuck into recording a, a bluesy soul album with Nash Chambers up, up here on the Central Coast, a little studio at Co- Cabagabana.

That's it.

And, uh, Don Walker and Troy had been w- uh, starting to get together and do their fantastic, uh, lyric writing.

By that stage, uh, Troy invited Don up, invited me and then what happened then?

Ian, um, why is Howlin' Wolf so important in the, the history and the story of the blues?

Um, w- well, uh, yeah, one of the, one of the pioneers, for sure.

Chester Burnett is the real name, I believe, uh, of, uh, Howlin' Wolf.

Um, it- look, it, it's a classic thing of, uh, in, you know, I s- I, I started learning guitar when, uh... at a young age and was doing sort of great, fantastic Hank Marvin bad, uh, covers of, uh, The Shadows, wonderful instrumentals.

Uh, but then suddenly the scene, the scene exploded, and there was, um, uh, Jimi Hendrix, uh, Jimmy Page, Jerry Clapton, Blackmore, Jeff Beck-

Yeah, go.

Was, uh, Cultures, and we, we just did, did the one t- we got to tour in the United States the one time, and one of our gigs was, uh, in, uh, Austin, Texas, and it was a one-day festival thing called the Tornado Jam, and we were the only outsiders.

And I remember, we'd, we'd sort of come from, I think we were in Houston the night before, and we'd, uh, just rocked up there, drove, drove in backstage in the afternoon.

A former state department official named Ian Moss was one of the people who welcomed them at JFK Airport.

They certainly were scared.

I think they were also just confused.

They'd been on 20-some hours of, of flights and are now, you know, arriving at 3:00 in the morning at JFK to meet with grandparents that they'd only seen via video.

It had to be disorienting, to say the least.

Ian Moss says the Minnesota family, Ahmed, his wife and their grandchildren, are a model success story so far.

These two boys are now living with their grandparents and building lives and doing well.

That we were able to keep a family together meant the United States was able to lead by example.
