"We wrote this song in honour of our good friend Jack Ryle, a ringer from Cape York who taught Goat Girl to play double bones back in 2011. Over a drink at the Lions Den Hotel he said “Love, all my mates are dropping off the perch and I need someone to carry on my trade”. The rhyme he sings to help teach the rhythm is “down in the cellar where she keeps the cider, I once saw a cockroach try to ride a spider”. 50 years on the bones - what a legend! ... love you Jack!"

Such a great performance and story of the double bones and Jack Ryle. It certainly brought me undone. Sadly, The Lions Den Hotel may have been flooded a few days ago. Hope to see you for the first time in April 2024. ;)
