SIB Audio: Camping At Balgal
Back

On the night of October the 5th, 2002, a group of us spent the night down at Balgal Beach.  Those in attendance included Brendan, Chris, Daniel, Eric (by telephone), Gavin, Gilbert, Greg (a.k.a. Graham), Jason, Kerin, Natasha, Sally and Wade.   As usual, Chris brought his tape with him recorder and we ended up with some pretty good stuff.

By about midnight, most people had either gone home or gone to sleep, leaving only Chris, Daniel, Gilbert and Wade.  So we decided to write a song.

A mixture of alcohol-induced creativity and Gilbert's $40 guitar came together to form a tribute to our Stop It Boys camping trips:

The Ballad Of Balgal

The Ballad Of Balgal (Take 1)
(1.27 Mb, 3 min 42 sec)

The Ballad Of Balgal (Take 2)

And to finish off the night, what better to do but take a walk along the beach and sing a selection of nursery rhymes using dry vocals!

Baa Baa Black Sheep

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

The complete tape from the camp has been put onto CD for archival purposes.  Let me know if you want a copy.
