Hey Izzy, couldn’t have worded the blurring effect better myself. And yet would we live the past any differently?

Hey Craig – The laughter was and still is the most important sound to my ears, and the abuse of all our preferred substances certainly created a blurring barrier between then and now, in both directions. (We were too out of it then to see the future, and now the past is somewhat out of focus …). I think I made some sense then, but correct me if I’m wrong.

Hey Rudi – Good to hear from you after such a long time. The imaginary chooks in my back yard here in Ulmarra lay free range carrots all the time, but I’m the only person who can see them (the story of my life …). There’s also a rather large rabbit named Harvey who sneaks in and eats them, but that’s another story. Just as a PS: I play the Frank Bennett ‘Cash Landing’ album through the PA during breaks at the Wide River Cafe regularly on Sundays – Nobody has told me to take it off, so we can assume it’s a hit with punters! Don’t you go changin’ now.

Wow, I was just reminiscing (or doing my best to) about the 80s and going to see bands in the pubs and clubs of Western Sydney. What a vibrant scene it aws then and what a pity excessive alcohol in those days has blurred some memories. I’m sure that Parra Leagues was the venue that I saw you fellas at. I remember the laughter thats for sure. Thanks for the blurred memories!

Hey Loz,
I’m glad somebody else remembered the Dee Why incident – I was beginning to think it was just me making up stuff in my memory to somehow glorify my own history (and, of course, the past gets a bit foggier each year further away from it …). I don’t remember perving on your chick (or, at least, I thought I was able to appreciate the female form without anybody sussing what was going on …), but that doesn’t mean I’m not guilty – it was a long time ago. Planet Zarsoff has been populated with many good-looking people, as well as those with a different level of good-lookingness.

Hey Izzy, “WoWEeee”, it’s GREAT to see you guys are still around !, I remmember see’n you guys at the Dee Why Pub back in the 80’s. I was going out with a hot blonde chick that you guys used to always perve on, (especially Bernie ) !! We would always hang out down the front right hand side of the stage at the BBQ-GRILL. I remmember you used to go through the crowd belting a can of beer with a set of drumstixs untill it opened !!! and once a bouncer stopped you and said “You can’t do that” ! so you stamped your feet all the way from the front door to the stage, and sang that ‘new’ song …..”Dee-Why’s Fucked” !!!, man that was the funniest thing I had seeen ! Cheeers , from Loz, Gold Coast.

Hi Guys,
Far out man long time no see, just googled you up to find out what you all been up too. I have not seen a live gig in years, love to see you all in Sydney again. I remember back in the 80’s when you use to play at Sweet Hart’s Cabarmatta, we would bust a nut to get there to see you.
Izzy might rememmber the Nambucker purple head we had back stage in the dressing room, man that was bad arse weed. Hope to see you soon.

Cheers Bevo…….

I can’t fuckin believe it. Issy is that really you. Mate I just
typed in Zarsoff Brothers and bang here I am. I’m 52 now
and followed you blokes around sydney’s west. I was lucky
enough to sing on stage with you guys twice. Once at the
Cambridge Tavern in Fairfield when you decided to call an
Elvis competition. I sang Heartbreak Hotel, then again at
the old Stardust. Viva Las Vagas and an old Rolf harris song
called The Ladies of the Harem…. were the two numbers I
did that night. I bcame known in the area as Porky Zarsoff.
The Porky is still with me today. I’ve evan got the album
Bumsweet somewhere. I followed the Eddies around for a
while before getting married. Great to here your still
around.
Paul.
