Greg Johnson Some Night Somewhere

Meeting Greg Johnson One Night Here (in Auckland)

Why was it signed "Don't wait!'?

Got to meet Greg—at his Auckland pre-show greet—and share how a song of his contributed to me quitting a job to go cycling.

This is what's behind the: 'Don't wait!' signature above.

Back in 2021 I was offered a position in (yet another) corporate restructure.

At 4:32 on August 3, 2021, I was wide awake, thinking about the upcoming work changes, and the phone shuffle playlist picked one of my favourite tracks from Greg's early 'Vine Street Stories' album: 'Don't Wait Another Day'...

Taking that advice, I picked up my phone, fired up OneNote (how I know the time) and wrote what I said at work later that day:

'Thanks for sharing the new tribe/chapter/squad design with me yesterday (Mon 2nd). After due consideration I have decided, although included, I do not see a place for me in it.'

I've never been inside Parnell's Holy Trinity Cathedral before, but it was a great venue for a gig. It was a memorable evening, great music, performances, and wide range of tracks from his earliest to the new release: Some Night Somewhere.

Happy 60th Greg, thanks for coming back to NZ to share it with us.
