Rockin' Socks!

In the natural course of the sock business we come across many great people, from all walks of life. Yeah, there are those too, that I'll be happy never to lay eyes on again. Luckily the good far out weight the not so nice. Met one last week who was just a delight. A big lanky guy, carrying a banjo, looking for a pair of socks. Turns out to be a travelling muso (who forgot to pack socks), first time visitor to Tassie. He had a few gigs booked, and was looking for more. We chatted a bit, sold him some woolly socks( it's cold here at the moment) and before he went he gave us a CD of his recordings. YeeHa! By the time I finally got around to listening to it, I found the most fantastic sound coming from the stereo. Sort of bluesy/guttural/toe tapping stuff. It is all original music, and I'm wishing now I got a chance to see him play live. Definately next visit. The guys named was CC Thornely, the CD is titled " The Black Swan's of Tresspass". He rocks( in our socks!) And we wish him all the best.
