Hi All – This is the last blog post on this site – I’m moving on to greener pastures over on the new website www.chrisknox.co.nz If you go there you’ll find clips from ‘Stroke – Songs For Chris Knox’ – we’ve put 1 minute edits on there to begin with. We were tempted to put […]

Hiya – Chris spent the weekend working on more Tall Dwarfs stuff & hanging out with his family. On Sunday, when we were recording, his memory & cognition struck me as improving. He wanted me to do an edit of a song loop down from 12 bars to 8 bars – not an easy thing […]

Hi All – Chris has been in a remarkably chipper mood all week. I don’t know why. He’s been extremely playful & energetic & is taking the lead on his recovery process.  Maybe someone is slipping him something behind our backs? His mobility is improving & there has been some action in his right arm, […]

Hi All – sorry for mental pain suffered by some over the last post. Weirdly it’s actually quite easy to type backwards (well ‘chocolate icecream’ was tricky & I did stuff up once ’tis true). ‘STROKE: SONGS FOR CHRIS KNOX’ is all in and sounding great. 32 covers of songs spanning Chris’ work from Jay […]

Hiya – Jon has posted a comment asking for specifics about Chris’ condition. It’s great that people care so much about Chris and, having been his friend for several years, I’m well aware of the impact he’s often had on those he’s met & played music with, but I still hope that everyone appreciates the […]

Hiya – Alec is in town & we had a meeting yesterday to finalise details of the Stroke release with Peter from Rhythm Method – I have most of the tracks in and we’re going to master in a few days. Had vege burgers & chips with Chris & then Chris & Alec quaffed some […]

Hi All – More tracks for Stroke are rolling in by the day & I’m going to play Chris some of the latest arrivals tonight. We’ve also started work towards the release party – I should be able to confirm date, venue & acts in next few days. Alec gets to town tomorrow so we […]

Howdy – Chris had a good weekend – he had his first Epic (beer of champions) since the stroke whilst watching Frankenstein (orig. 1931 James Whale version o’course). Now unfortunately I couldn’t join him for certain reasons but if the rest of you felt like imbibbing I wouldn’t criticise. We have also been out for […]
