Three Chords and The Truth

life is a piece of music composed by amateurs Three Chords And The Truth is a search story. It tells how indiscriminate happenstance puts three musicians on the road together. A marriage has to be mended; a river sings of death, as does the Nullarbor Plain of the Australian outback; a wandering poet tells of Vietnam and fishing; love gets lost and found; the clueless century staggers along its journey. Ray, harmonica expert and devotee of Leonard Cohen, goes searching for his missing, grieving wife; Charlie, gifted wizard of the lagerphone ponders on whether to return to his drab life at the Holbrook Joinery Company or follow the seductions of show business; Eddie, once-famous acid guitarist, is grasping at memories of times past, never knowing whether he has a child or not, he claims that life is merely a piece of music composed by amateurs. This travellin’ man had a guitar that eventually took him around the world. He knew what it was like to bring screaming thousands to their feet.
