Nice work Garry. As for me, I loved looking at my different haircuts through the years. Man, we are getting old...
Thanks Spyros! And don't worry some of us were old before we found this place!!!
As for Dino -
yes, he really did remix the music for me!!!. For me that was so special and so appropriate that the great man himself, the creator of KO2 would do this!
I'd exchanged a number of emails with
Dino via his YouTube site, initially in response to this Retreat video and then out of appreciation of his own music. Soon after, while travelling down to a KORA tourney, me and Steve E were talking about videos and that's when the idea took root

Now I can't sing for a toffee but I knew a man who could!!!!
Understandably, Dino wanted to see my video first so I sent him a
test version set to the original Bruce Sprinsteen's Born in the USA. And soon after that, to my delight, Dino produced the goods.

I was just expecting a dubbed chorus line but this is more like a remix!

The whistled melody immediately told me that what was to follow was a little different! The chorus line is perfectly timed and the harmonizing 'humm' from the second verse onwards is another great idea too - reminds me of a NZ Rugby war chant!!!! hehe
