Greg Parker - A Tribute - page 83

Certainly the last 25 or so years that I have
known you have been filled with wonderful
adventures andmemories.What’s interesting
is that the only reason that we know each
other isbecauseyouareaBaha’i.
Mentioning yourmusic and the choir would
of course be stating the obvious, (certainly
frommy point of view). Yourmusic has been
the source of joy to many, inspired others
and straddled many generations. However I
feel few would appreciate the tireless hours
spent behind the scenes creating every piece
ofmusic, videoorproduction.
We’ve certainly covered a lot of ground
together fromCarnarvon, upnorth toAlbany
down south and the east coast of Australia
setting up for performances in weird and
wonderful places, tackling technical issues
in themiddle of nowhere but alwaysmaking
sure “the show must go on”. We’ve been
fortunate to visit the friends aroundWA and
I have always cherished theParker hospitality
whether inForrestfield, Albany, ShentonPark
orKensingtonover theyears.
Mate, I wish you well and look forward to
many more adventures, footy games and
episodesof “StarTrek”.
