WILEY REED, YOU’VE GOT MAIL!
By: Tracey Hammel
On Monday October 7, Labour Day in Queensland, the dust
kicked up in the warm wind blowing gently outside the Royal
Mail Hotel in Goodna, the old pub we fondly refer to as the
Mail. The street was lined with the purple haze of jacaranda
flowers as the intense heat of the day shimmered thickly from
the road with all the promise of summer just around the corner.
We had arrived to meet with others at the Wiley Reed
Memorial event.
As we walked toward the front bar, people were spilling out onto the veranda, chattering and laughing
animatedly. Inside, the pub was rolling along to a wave of classic Southern rock played out on the main stage by
the Royal Mail House Band. Soon, jammers would flow smoothly on and off stage. This was no mean feat given
it was one of the larger and busier jams to be held in Brisbane.
Thinking back over the years, there was
something captivating about watching Wiley
perform, and even though he had achieved huge
success and played with some big named artists
he was warmly generous and encouraging to
musicians of all levels. I was lucky enough to sing
alongside him a couple of times, but I didn’t know
him well. My loss. I feel honoured to be able to
share my thoughts from the Memorial Day with
you. From what I did know of Wiley, and certainly
from all the emotion in the pub that day, he was a
rare soul that left an indelible mark on music and
the people he played for, and played with.
One year on since he left us and many of Wiley’s
vast “extended family” had turned out to
celebrate he who shall never be forgotten.

Wiley Reed – You’ve got mail! (page 1)
Heartfelt speeches to a loved one and mentor, an
emotive a Capella dedication, and right on 4.30pm the
room drew to a hush in one minute of silence for
Wiley. A stirring tribute moved everyone in the house
to raise their glasses and join together in song … knock,
knock, knockin' on Heaven's door.
By the time members of Wiley’s band took to the stage
the Mail was packed. The band wailed out blues tunes
and the dance floor was jumping under the feet of an
appreciative crowd
The bright light from the blazing heat eventually faded
to a sepia hue as dusk took over the late afternoon
shift and still more jammers crammed the stage into
the evening.
I glanced over at Andrew Café, the Mail’s publican.
Andrew looked at me as if to say, “this is special”. I
smiled back a nod to say “yes, it is”.
Whenever I’m at the Mail there is a strong feeling that
Wiley’s spirit still visits and no more so than on that
day. Pan across to see Cath Butler’s painting of the
man himself looking on from his piano … and I’m
pretty sure that just for a moment I could see him
break into a huge wide grin and sing along with us all.
Here’s cheers to you Wiley.
RIP Wiley Dean Reed (5 January 1944 – 7 October
2012)
Brisbane's latest venue ready for opening night….
On Friday 1st of November, the New Globe Theatre
will be hosting its opening night followed by the
Queensland Festival of Blues on the 2nd and 3rd of
November. Local business man and avid blues
supporter Paul Robinson has put his heart (and cash)
into this new venture to offer the music industry an
opportunity to experience the best of local, interstate
and international acts to grace the stage of this iconic
venue.
BASEQ representatives were invited early this month
to see the progress on this project….and we must say,
what a fantastic job you have done in such a short
time. As Paul was explaining, there will be two areas in
the venue for live music, the BIG stage with an
audience capacity of 400 people and in another
section of the theatre is a smaller room (bar and
stage) which is more suited for sit down audience
catering for 200 people. No meals are served on site,
but only a short distances away are some of the
Valleys best eateries in town. Another bonus was the
location of this venue, only 20 meters to the Valley
Railway station entrance…can it get any better than
that!
As with any new venture, it is only a success if it is
supported. The venue, entertainment and location has
every indicator that this should become a regular
music pit stop. We wish Paul and his team all the very
best and congratulate him on his vision of promoting
and providing live music to the Brisbane community.

Presidents Report – November 2013
President’s Pen
It’s nice to be back. Lot’s of great things have
happened throughout this month with the BASEQ
workshop held at the Royal Mail on 20th October
being a great success. Over forty vocalists,
experienced and novice, signed up for Yani’s vocal
workshop. Channeling beautiful harmonies and
heartfelt lead vocal parts, it was a truly wonderful
morning. This was free for BASEQ members and
$10 for non members. Thanks to Yani for making
these workshops so easy for all. Look out for our
next workshop this month.
Devil’s Kiosk were our host band at the BASEQ

came along and enjoyed the afternoon. Thanks to
the committee for continually supporting all of
the BASEQ initiatives. Thanks to Cecil Nunis for
coordinating the jam this month.
Once a year we are called upon to select a cd for
the ‘Best Self-Produced CD’ held in Memphis by
the Blues Foundation. This is offered to one of
our affiliated bands who have independently
produced their cd within the last year. This cd
must be predominantly original. This year the cd
chosen was ‘Don’t Wanna Be Famous’ by
Bluescorp. The cd was sent to The Blues
Foundation in Memphis to be listened to by
several judges who will be searching through cds
from all over the world sent in by affiliated clubs.
They will make a selection for this year’s cd of the
year with the main criteria being Blues Content,
with other criteria being: Musical Performance,
Audio Quality of the Presentation, Cover Art and
Design and Credits and Liner Information.
We wish Andrew all the best for his cd and hope
he does well at the selection. We will keep you
posted.
The New Globe Theatre will be opening it’s doors
this Friday evening 1st November with the first
Day of the 5th Annual Queensland Festival of
Blues. Looks like a great line up for the Festival
throughout the weekend and one not to be
missed. Tickets are on sale

Don’t forget to save the
date…. 23rd February,

performing to help us raise
money for the next BASEQ

CD REVIEWS
SUGARCANE COLLINS |DOWNUNDER THE BLUES
SUGARCANE COLLINS –
DownUnder the Blues
It’s phenomenally difficult
for an artist to follow a
seminal achievement with
a work of equal quality.
Consider Australia’s
Sugarcane Collins, an
acoustic bluesman with a
threefold fire in his vocals,
guitar and songwriting. His 2006 masterpiece story of
the blues, “Way Down the River,” was the culmination of
thirty years of research, study, and profound soulsearching. What songs could possibly follow his thirteentrack saga of hardship and oppression suffered by the
African slaves and hope to match them? This time,
Sugarcane has traveled back to his own land
“Downunder” to recapture much of the eerie and
poignant magic that his “magnum opus” contained. As
on “Way Down the River,” each of the twelve
compositions is original, and the blues world will be
made a far better place because of it. Plucking nylon
strings on his acoustic, no one spanks the guitar like
Sugarcane, but this reviewer believes his prime strength
is as a lyricist, as evidenced in these selections:
Track 01: “The Blues Downunder”--This tale has two
parts, comparing the misfortune of one Jim Jones, a
British convict on his way to Australia in its penal-colony
days, with the misfortune of the Aboriginals who are
systematically and cruelly dispossessed of their lives and
ancestral lands. Sugarcane’s hard-driving acoustic guitar
notes and vengeful vocals mark the song as a chilling
overture to the rest of the album: “And some dark night
when everything is silent in the town, I’ll shoot those
floggers, one and all, I’ll shoot those bastards down!” As
the sounds of the sea continue to lull listeners, Brett
Charles presents a pointed monologue originally written
by Australian author Xavier Herbert in April 1978: “Until
we give back to the black man just a bit of the land that
was his, we shall remain what we have always been so
far, a people without integrity--not a nation, but a
community of thieves.”
Track 09: “Flowers by the Roadside”--Although this is a
poetic ode to, and a chiding of, hot-rodding travellers, its
tone is anything but melancholy. The tempo of “Flowers”
is reminiscent of an automobile barrelling down the
highway in the dark of night.
Continued…..
Listeners might imagine it’s full of whooping teenagers,
who are ignoring not only the speed limit but their own
safety. After these motorists’ fatal joyrides, "and now
amongst the crumpled steel there's bodies dead and
cold," Sugarcane recounts rumors of their spectral
sightings: “There’s tortured souls and spirits out on the
highways. They gambled, they lost, and never made it
home.” Reckless drivers may learn their lesson for a
while, while the pain of their loss is still fresh, but “now
the paint is fading on the cross where you died.” This
minute detail is a metaphor: as the paint fades upon this
memorial, so does the warning that it represents. “The
highway’s a gamble when you’re going for a ride,”
Collins comments ruefully. However, it need not be a
heedless one. The fewer “Flowers by the Roadside,” the
better.
Track 10: “Berry’s Creek Dreaming (When I Was a
Cowboy)”-- This is one of the most poignant
autobiographical songs ever written. Collins warmly
reminisces about the farm upon which he spent most of
his childhood: the land, the pests both animal and plant,
and most of all, the people: “We’d go in the back door.
The house would be sleeping, though big clock would
tick-tock and chime on the hour. And all through those
child days, those wild days and vile days, the farm: it
was big, it was safe, it was ours. It was home, home.”
This refrain of “home” is long and soothing, a call
originally for the dairy cattle that four generations of
Sugarcane's family raised. With atmospheric accordion
by Kirk Steel and penetrating lyrics, “Berry’s Creek
Dreaming” is a balm for the soul and a soft cloth to dry
one’s tears. Anyone who pines for home will rejoice in
it, as will all who remember their childhood pleasures
and pains.
Sugarcane Collins gave the blues genre the masterpiece
“Way Down the River,” which was set in the Mississippi
Delta of the 1920s and 30s, and on “Downunder the
Blues,” he has continued with his sublime storytelling,
innovative arrangements and pristine production. So go
to his website get your hands on a copy of this brilliant
new album, and take a trip to Australia with him--and to
blues heaven!

Book on B.B. King Inspired by a Stolen Gibson Lucille Model
The new book B.B. King's Lucille and the Loves Before Her
is a painstakingly researched travelogue through the
universe of the blues great’s gear, starting with the diddley
bow he played in the Mississippi cotton fields as a boy and
continuing through the current generation of the Gibsonmade Lucille line of guitars he cradles on stage today, with
plenty of information about amps, picks, strings and
minutia along the way.
Then I started researching it for two-and-half months. I
started calling Gibson every week to see if somebody
would talk to me about this guitar. I also reached out to
George Gruhn and Walter Carter and the other usual
suspects we know in the guitar business. Nobody could
really tell me about this stamp on the back.”
Dahl had no idea it was King’s stolen guitar. The blues
patriarch had not reported the theft to police, but had
told Gibson. Eventually word of Dahl’s quest reached Pat
Foley, Gibson Brands’ worldwide director of artist
relations. Foley contacted Dahl and explained the guitar
had been made at the Gibson Custom Shop as a gift for
King’s 80th birthday and was his main guitar until it was
stolen.
Soon King’s office began calling about the guitar. King
wanted Dahl to meet with him to swap instruments.
“But that took a while, too, because Gibson needed to
get a replacement guitar to Mr. King for the one I had,
and he insisted on doing the swap himself. Eventually I
thought it wasn’t going to happen. In fact, the night
But there’s also a fascinating story behind Nashville-based before the trade was supposed to happen I told my wife
author Eric E. Dahl’s inspiration for writing his authoritative that — new guitar or not — I was going to give Mr. King

where Dahl, a lifelong guitarist in blues and rock bands
who’s also a guitar appraiser, broadcaster and journalist,

occurred. “Mr. King shook my hand and he offered me a
“They called me because they knew I bought and traded
guitars, and I’d bought guitars from them before,” Dahl
explains. “I was living in Las Vegas and playing in the
casinos during the weeknights and in church on Sundays,
and would then go buy guitars with the money.” He’d
already purchased a B.B. King Lucille model from the Easy
Pawn a few years earlier, and had no intention of
purchasing the one they were about to put on the floor —
until the shop’s owner opened the case
.
“The whole thing was covered in sweat,” he recalls. “The
strings were nasty. I thought, ‘It’ll take hours just to clean
this.’ I figured some local bluesman has hocked it. Then I
flipped it over and looked at the headstock and it said,
‘Prototype 1’ in a white stamp. I’d never seen that before. I
assumed it meant this was one of the original 80th
Birthday model Lucilles that B.B. King had approved.
“So I bought it, took it home, polished it and cut off and
replaced the strings and set it up. Little did I know I was
wiping off B.B. King’s DNA…..
Diet Coke,” Dahl recounts. “ We sat down and spent
about 45 minutes talking. He talked to me about playing
at Bo Diddley’s funeral. My friend was taking photos, and
he said he didn’t think Mr. King really believed it was the
guitar until I opened the case and handed it to him. He
was thrilled. He gave me a brand new Lucille and told me
he hoped I’d enjoy playing mine as much as he enjoys
playing his. He really does love these guitars. He signed a
book for me and some old albums I’d brought, and gave
me some guitar picks. He said he wanted a picture of he
and I together for his office. He was always a hero of
mine, and my dad’s, who passed away young, at 43, in
1984.
“I came up with the idea for the book because I’d done
so much research on B.B. and his guitars, just for my
own search and my own knowledge, and I found so
many inaccuracies. Anybody can put anything up on the
Web. There was all sorts of wrong information about his
past Gibsons, about the evolution of the Lucille… These
things bothered me.”

Book on B.B. King Inspired by a Stolen Gibson Lucille Model
Continued…..
So Dahl approached King’s office and asked for their
Lucille don’t want to play anything
blessing for a book on the history of their boss’
instruments and related gear. “I’m a gear freak,” he says. but the blues – B.B.King
“I wanted to know about his gear and about how his gear
got to where it is now. I think the evolution of his
instruments, starting with a diddley bow on the
plantation to playing a $10,000 guitar on stage today, is a
fascinating story.” And King’s amps hold their own
fascination. Dahl explains that prominent fans like Eric
Johnson keep their antennae up for the long
discontinued Lab Series amps King plays, buy them, and
ship the amps to him. King then replaces their O.E.M.
speakers with Peavey Black Widows.
As Dahl’s book relates, the current Lucilles are just part of
a long line of Gibson guitars that King has played over the
past seven decades. He briefly played a Les Paul Gold
Top, but favored the L-30 for many years, after he
graduated up from the Stella acoustics he played on the
plantation in Mississippi. “That was the ‘Lucille’ he want
back into the house fire in Twist, Arkansas, to save,” Dahl
notes, alluding to the famous story of how King began
calling his guitars “Lucille.”
Next came an infatuation with the ES-5 Switchmaster,ES335,ES-345 and ES-355 models. King stuck with the latter
until he asked Gibson to solve the feedback problems his
loud volume created by making a guitar with similar
characteristics and a solid top. Thus the first Gibson
Lucille model, which retained the ES-345 and ES-355’s
distinctive Vari-Tone switch, was born in 1980.
For the record, King tours with just one guitar today —
the Lucille 80th Birthday instrument that Dahl returned to
his hands.

BB King Lucille
"It seems that it loves to be petted and played with.
There's also a certain way you hold it, the certain noises
it makes, the way it excites me ... and Lucille don't want
to play anything but the blues ... Lucille is real, when I
play her it's almost like hearing words, and of course,
naturally I hear cries." — B.B. King, liner notes from the
album, Lucille, 1968
In the history of all music, there has never been a guitar
associated with one musician quite like blues legend B.B.
King is linked to his beloved Lucille – a custom-built
Gibson ES-355 manufactured exclusively for the true
“King of the Blues” since 1980. And B.B. King is not only
the most renowned blues musician of our time; he’s also
one of the most important electric guitarists of all-time.
His singular bluesy style has influenced generations of
players across genres, and his powerful and distinct
songs have appeared on the charts more than 70 times,
from blues to R&B to pop. He’s done it all, and at over
80 years of age he is still considered the hardest working
man in show business, maintaining a pace many younger
artists dream of keeping up with.
