      <O>tut</O> what was that bit of music you were playing

  <WSC#DPC180:0010:VV>
      when

  <WSC#DPC180:0015:MK>
      on the piano just then <,>

  <WSC#DPC180:0020:VV>
      the last one

  <WSC#DPC180:0025:VV>
      it's from bugsy malone

  <WSC#DPC180:0030:MK>
      <drawls>oh</drawls> <,,><&>4</&>

  <WSC#DPC180:0035:MK>
      do you take <.>the</.> do you go over to the piano very often
      underneath

  <WSC#DPC180:0040:VV>
      no i've been TWICE maybe <,> but i'm going more this term <,>
      cause i'm going to get a JOB

  <WSC#DPC180:0045:MK>
      so what will <.>you</.> what will you and joanna do about that

  <WSC#DPC180:0050:VV>
      um go and see that woman at the palms

  <WSC#DPC180:0055:MK>
      has she got your names and everything

  <WSC#DPC180:0060:VV>
      i think so but <.>she</.> i had to go back and see her again <,>
      and i have to wait for joanna to do some practice and i've done
      some and <.>it's</.> she <&>1:00</&> has to do <.>some</.> we
      have to do some together

  <WSC#DPC180:0065:MK>
      <O>tut</O> so what happened when you went the first time

  <WSC#DPC180:0070:MK>
      <{1><[1>it seemed</[1> odd that they advertised when <{2><[2><.>they</.></[2>

  <WSC#DPC180:0075:VV>
      <[1><.>well</.></[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPC180:0080:VV>
      <[2>they</[2></{2> didn't advertise

  <WSC#DPC180:0085:MK>
      <drawls><softly>oh</softly></drawls> <,,><&>3</&>

  <WSC#DPC180:0090:VV>
      yeah i was just in there having dinner and i asked and a guy
      gave me the name of the woman to talk to and i talked to her <,>
      and she said to come back after may

  <WSC#DPC180:0095:MK>
      i don't even know where the palms is

  <WSC#DPC180:0100:VV>
      it's by the exchange at the bottom of dowling street
      <,,><&>3</&>

  <WSC#DPC180:0105:VV>
      well not by the exchange queen's gardens

  <WSC#DPC180:0110:MK>
      oh and what sort of food do they serve

  <WSC#DPC180:0115:VV>
      nice food <,,><&>3</&> all different things <,,><&>4</&>

  <WSC#DPC180:0120:MK>
      who did you go with when you were there

  <WSC#DPC180:0125:VV>
      peter <,,> it was the day after we broke up

  <WSC#DPC180:0130:MK>
      oh <O>laughs</O>

  <WSC#DPC180:0135:VV>
      and i had to pay

  <WSC#DPC180:0140:MK>
      <O>laughs</O>

  <WSC#DPC180:0145:VV>
      <O>laughs</O>

  <WSC#DPC180:0150:MK>
      and why did the woman say <.>come</.> did she say <&>2:00</&>
      come back in the middle of term or something

  <WSC#DPC180:0155:VV>
      well they <.>don't</.> see in summer they don't need <,,> people
      they don't need to advertise music <,> to get people to go there
      and in winter they do because no one will go there <,,><&>4</&>

  <WSC#DPC180:0160:MK>
      did you try any other places

  <WSC#DPC180:0165:VV>
      no cos i hadn't like done any practice or anything <,> <O>tut</O>
      <,,><&>5</&> but i think we WILL this term

  <WSC#DPC180:0170:VV>
      we'll try lots of places and then joanna will come here in
      august and we'll try wellington places for summer <,,><&>3</&>

  <WSC#DPC180:0175:VV>
      we'll go round some of them and just be pushy and i'll <.>gi</.>
      i'll give c v's to places for more than just playing piano
      though as well <unclear>word</unclear>

  <WSC#DPC180:0180:VV>
      i'll put c v's everywhere for <,> any old work but we might as
      <&>3:00</&> well try for the music if we've got any chance <{><[><unclear>word</unclear></[>

  <WSC#DPC180:0185:MK>
      <[>cos the</[></{> money's better isn't it

  <WSC#DPC180:0190:VV>
      the money's better and you only have to work in the night time
      and it's often under the table so we can collect the dole as
      WELL <,> so if we were getting three or four nights a week
      that'd be nearly two hundred dollars a week plus a hundred
      dollars dole plus i'd be able to do cleaning for missus johnston
      and stuff and any other little cleaning jobs i could get <.>so</.>
      i mean if we could do it it would be ideal and if it was under
      the table it'd be great

  <WSC#DPC180:0195:VV>
      we'd make lots of money <.>but</.> we'll have to see

  <WSC#DPC180:0200:MK>
      what happened to that girl <.>l</.> laura thomson

  <WSC#DPC180:0205:VV>
      i don't know

  <WSC#DPC180:0210:VV>
      she's probably still doing it

  <WSC#DPC180:0215:VV>
      i don't know if she's still doing the course or not but she
      probably still living there

  <WSC#DPC180:0220:VV>
      she <.>probably</.> <,> <.>still</.> she'll <.>be</.> still be
      playing at the plaza <,> i expect

  <WSC#DPC180:0225:MK>
      cos i suppose they only <.>em</.> it's possible you might be
      able to get <,> a job playing piano with <.>a</.> with you know
      an established group or <&>4:00</&> something

  <WSC#DPC180:0230:VV>
      <O>tut</O> but i'm not really good enough i don't think

  <WSC#DPC180:0235:VV>
      i don't <.>kn</.> i don't know the jazz rules and things
      properly <,,><&>4</&>

  <WSC#DPC180:0255:VV>

  <WSC#DPC180:0260:VV>
      i don't really want to know cos otherwise she'll ask me to play
      for her again

  <WSC#DPC180:0265:VV>
      this girl in dunedin i was at the <.>m</.> music house and this
      girl was playing the cello and she was SO BAD and when i came
      out she was going out at the same time and she said oh do you
      play the piano and i said sort of <{><[>and</[> she said cos um
      <O>tut</O> yeah um if you're keen and if you're <.>i</.> good at
      sightreading

  <WSC#DPC180:0270:VV>
      i mean i don't know how's your sightreading cos i'm looking for
      someone to just um you know play with me occasionally cos my
      cousin's <.>gone</.> moved away and that's who i used to play
      with and i sort of went oh um you'd be better to get a real
      piano student er

  <WSC#DPC180:0305:MK>
      so in joanna's year is there just no one doing performance piano

  <WSC#DPC180:0310:VV>
      um <,,><&>3</&> i don't think there can be unless um no one did
      <.>it</.> in joanna's first year there were only two of them and
      one of them dropped out during the year cos lawrence didn't
      think he was good enough and then joanna didn't want to keep
      going with it and so there were none when they were in second
      year except this girl who transferred from auckland and did
      second year but lawrence didn't want her to sit the exam cos she
      was really shit too <,,> and she <.>was</.> she was in my class
      and she got the lowest marks but she thought she was pretty hot
      shit <&>6:00</&> <,,> but she sort of <.>didn't</.> not
      particularly musical or anything and never did any practice

  <WSC#DPC180:0575:VV>
      yep and she's got a brother who's about twenty <&>9:00</&> four

      belinda's being a bridesmaid for her sister and she's having <.>her</.>
      her mother's old bridesmaids' dresses which are <.>silk</.> that
      dark reddy silk <.>like</.> they're <.>like</.> it's silk VELVET
      the material apparently <{1><[1>silk velvet</[1> or something
      like that and <.>it's</.> <,> red rose

  <WSC#DPC180:0580:VV>
      it looks <.>like</.> it looks like red roses and it feels like
      red rose petals apparently and she had three dresses but um
      belinda's sister hayley is only having two bridesmaids and um
      the other <.>girl's</.> mary someone she's really tiny so she
      can wear the BIGGEST of the three <laughs>dresses of belinda's
      mother's bridesmaids and the other two have been made into one
      dress for belinda</laughs> <O>laughs</O> <{2><[2><O>laughs</O></[2>

  <WSC#DPC180:0585:MK>
      <[1><drawls>mm</drawls></[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPC180:0590:MK>
      <[2>oh that's</[2></{2> rather good <latch>

  <WSC#DPC180:0595:VV>
      and belinda's <.>not</.> <&>10:00</&> belinda's like quite a
      small twelve in <.>that</.> <.>that</.> <.>she</.> they're just
      TINY the dresses <laughs>so she has to have two made into one</laughs>

  <WSC#DPC180:0600:MK>
      well that's like that <.>thing</.> did i tell you i did this
      interview with a woman <,> in the museum who <.>does</.> they do
      fabric restoration and <.>it's</.> they said if you want to
      baptise <.>your</.> christen your child in a christening gown
      that belonged you know to your grandparents or something then
      you have to have the child done STRAIGHT AWAY cos they were very
      tiny

  <WSC#DPC180:0605:VV>
      oh right

  <WSC#DPC180:0610:MK>
      it's partly cos of infant mortality they tended to have their
      children baptised earlier but it's more just with the sizes <.>were</.>
      same thing with wedding dresses

  <WSC#DPC180:0615:VV>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC180:0620:MK>
      <softly>mm</softly> gosh her mother must have saved them very
      carefully the dresses

  <WSC#DPC180:0625:VV>
      yeah i guess

  <WSC#DPC180:0630:MK>
      the other thing this woman <{><[><.>said</.></[>

  <WSC#DPC180:0635:VV>
      <[>got</[></{> them back off the bridesmaids and stuff

  <WSC#DPC180:0640:MK>
      mm if you want to do that sort of thing you have to dry clean
      them straight away before you put them <.>away</.> that if you
      put them away with <&>11:00</&> just one wee spot on

  <WSC#DPC180:0645:VV>
      yeah yeah

  <WSC#DPC180:0650:MK>
      <softly>they come out ruined</softly>

  <WSC#DPC180:0655:VV>
      oh that's understandable

  <WSC#DPC180:0660:MK>
      so <{><[>what <.>has</.></[>

  <WSC#DPC180:0665:VV>
      <[>have</[></{> you still got your wedding dress

  <WSC#DPC180:0670:MK>
      yep

  <WSC#DPC180:0675:VV>
      where

  <WSC#DPC180:0680:MK>
      up in the cupboard above the fridge actually you <.>know</.> not
      that it's <.>abo</.> you know in that <.>d</.> <latch>

  <WSC#DPC180:0685:VV>
      above the FRIDGE?

  <WSC#DPC180:0690:MK>
      you know there's that cupboard up the top which <latch>

  <WSC#DPC180:0695:VV>
      is there

  <WSC#DPC180:0700:MK>
      yeah and we've got the christmas <{><[>decorations and things</[>

  <WSC#DPC180:0705:VV>
      <[>can i have a look</[></{> cos i want to see it

  <WSC#DPC180:0710:VV>
      i mean can i look at it tonight

  <WSC#DPC180:0715:MK>
      yeah when you've done <laughs>half an <{><[>hour of taping</laughs></[>

  <WSC#DPC180:0720:VV>
      <[>what size is it about nine</[></{> <,,>

  <WSC#DPC180:0725:VV>
      <with silly voice>skinny twiggy</with silly voice> <,,><&>4</&>

  <WSC#DPC180:0730:MK>
      so what will happen at belinda's twenty first

  <WSC#DPC180:0735:MK>
      will there be you know dancing and speeches or <.>what</.> how
      many people will be there

  <WSC#DPC180:0740:VV>
      oh i don't know er i really <.>don't</.> i don't know

  <WSC#DPC180:0745:VV>
      i expect it will be quite a family one cos all her family will
      be there and their you know fiances and husbands and stuff like
      that <.>and</.> and family friends will all be there and old
      school friends will all be there and some dunedin people but not
      a hell of a lot i don't <&>12:00</&> think cos she wasn't that
      fast on sending invitations out like she didn't get them all
      done before the holidays so <,> she might have another one in
      dunedin <,> have a wine and cheese or something <,,><&>3</&> but
      yeah <.>i</.> i expect it'll just be people standing around <,>
