Liner Notes
I said during PShift that Coloured Stone played at a Rock against Racism (RAR) concert in Brisbane in 1982. I was wrong. Buna Lawrie’s band ‘Coloured Stone’ played at a RAR concert in Adelaide in 1982 (not Brisbane).

At the ripe old age of 13, Buna Lawrie’s son, Jason Scott, ”now big enough to be seen over the cymbals ” was officially invited to join Coloured Stone in the capacity of drummer. His first major gig? Rock Against Racism in Adelaide (in 1982).

“I was nervous and scared of the big outside world,” says Jason. ” And just being a part of my dad’s group that I’d been dreaming about since I was little! I mean, they were the leading Aboriginal group in Australia. It was such a big responsibility and I was playing drums for them.”

It was an auspicious debut … see http://www.deadlyvibe.com.au/2007/11/jason-scott/
