[Stephen Scott]

Hi there,
I just read this on the Crowded House, Tongue in the Mail list.
It's pretty funny. For those that don't know, "Six months in a Leaky Boat" 
and "Haul Away" are two Tim Finn composed Split Enz tracks from their Time 
and Tide release. And the last paragraph I have heard before. What a story. 
Bones was cleaning Neil Finn's pool whilst the old Oils were playing round 
the world with their D&D album. That reminds me, does anyone have the Blue 
Sky Mine album with the sticker on the front proclaiming "the New Midnight 
Oil". I guess it was their way of introducing their new bassist.
See ya
Stephen
