Dad + Otis

Joe Cocker - Feelin' Alright

Self-taught, a professional musician in his teens, he made his own career in Australia during the 70s and made a name for himself on his own terms. He wanted to sing, and nobody was going to stop him. An international singer, in every technical sense, there was no stopping him when my great friends took him (and Mum) to the blues bar, Otis. Thanks to the helpful translation, Dad was able to do "his thing" and just rip the place apart in the way that only he could. Thank you for being there and seeing my true roots. The music, the man, the father. If I could be half them man with a quarter of the true music, I would be alive.
