(The photo above shows the Chicks with Picks playing to a packed venue at 303 High Street, Northcote on the 10th February 2012 - what a great night that was! Thanks to Robin's niece for the photos.)
A sweet song featuring Milk, The Ukulele Revolution and mates from the album "Shipwrecked at the Royal Oak", recorded in Greg's bedroom one evening. And yes, that is a banjo. Here's an MP3 of the song - turn your speakers up and just press play:
