Sandy, you remember the choir sessions that Oom Wessie, Fred Briers, Clive Manthee, Frank Quirk and the others used to have on Sunday evenings at Casies.
Pikkewyn ( Chris Swanepoel) was also there. Piet Spies used to be there some times.
They would fill glases with water and by varying the levels would produce the notes, someone played the spoons, drummed & there was a mouthorgan as well.
Believe it or not some of thos chaps could play & carry a tune
Clive Yes ! memories most fond ... Fred Briers ... I remember his wife well she teamed up with Mrs Weyers as Fat Cat Catering many years ago .. I was on duty at some or other function in the main rec club hall and they did chinese .. most scrumptious . sadly I understand she died fromk a massive asthma attack ...?
I'm trying to find out what date this function occured on... Now my father cannot remember and the only other person still in town from that party is Mike Stenson, but he was a spring chicken back then and has attended many parties since and cannot remember either, my fathe remembers that it was held on the day that Weeeepeeee beat the Sharks in the final of the cc?
Any Takers?
???
These pics of Kannie Worrie are great. Has any one got any pics from the days where he use to camp on the circle at Casies every new year. Everyone going past his tent use to pop in for drink - in the middle of town. What a memory.
Looking at those Pics, i realized what fun i have missed out on
I never went to Caseys, does nor mean that i am anti social or anti alcohol :emot182: BierSuip
Those new smilies are fun LOL

Georg , fun .. yes but then we all had different ways of having fun and different social circles ,, You had fun with your music and a somewhat quieter circle of friends ..... as for the fun at caseys ,, well a lot of it centered around some really hard drinking .. I used to love the Sunday morning shift at caseys cos one saw some of the really brave ones from the night before shuffle in for a regmaker .. looking ever so sorry for themselves ordering Jagermeister or Underberg to try help settle their fragile insides, I am sure you prefered your sundays to be healthy ones .. but yes you would have enjoyed the odd night out there and yes indeed had fun ... heres a thought going through my head now ....
What would have been fun is seeing you and Konnie worrie in a guitar and singing duel ..
I can picture you in your oklahoma outfit as in the wild west sauntering through the swinging doors of caseys and challenging Konnieworrie .. the two of you then taking it out to the circle .. the battle of the guitars ...and the town watching ...

Sandy, my dad lived on Underbergs....swore by the stuff that it would cure his hangover, had a few tucked away in his box in the workshop at Uubvley......

YES GOOD STUFF FULL OF BITTER HERBS TO KICK THE LIVER BACK INTO ACTION.. ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES WE WERE JUST BEYOND REPAIR .....
Underberg
My advice after a rich meal, always helps

Best remedy for Hangovers, rich food, gout etc or any other stomach ailment = Schwedish Bitters. It tastes like s.... but has a kick ass effect. I have a bottle standing permanently in my medicine rack. If that tastes to bad try 10ml of vanilla essence in a small amount water. Helps for nausea (preggy ladies this could help for you.)
Who can forget Kannie Worrie. I was friends with his son, James if I remember correctly. My parents visited them regularly for braais and house parties. They had a daughter as well, can't remember her name though. Aunty Steve (not sure of the spelling) worked as a nursing sister if I remember correctly. Great times. Mike thanks for the pics, I caught a glimse of my old man as well, hell how I miss him.
Sandy, how's Heidi - send my regards please.
Cheers
Patrick
Remember in my late teens or early twenties a few friends and I walking through an alley past Kannie Worries house and we saw him working in his garden. Next thing we knew we were in his house having a couple of dops and leaving much the worse for wear. His camping on the island in the centre of town story is legendary. Also recall that on the 24th December all employees would knock off work at about lunch time. One year on the 24th I saw Kannie standing on the Eastcliff road near Uubvlei at about 10 o' clock hiking home as the busses taking employees to checkpoint arrived at about 12. When I asked the artisan I was working with about this he told me that Kannie used to do it every year on that specific day. Wonderful person.
A great character! Legendary stories about him.
Anyone remember Moses De Blici the reclusive contractor who plastered the Sunday Times all over his room in the single quarters and died of a heart attack? They could barely get into the room when he was found because of the thickness of the "wallpaper".
Just scanned the man...
and....

The best thing I know against hangovers, is "rollmops" and "bismark hering". Sour fish for breackfast. Now hats a kick!
How could I ever forget Kannie Worrie (Oom Wessie). He used to pitch a tent in the circle outside Caseys and sing with his guitar. He would be so drunk and eventually all he sang was (ons kan nie worrie nie) over and over LOL.The best was when Western Province was playing Northern Transvaal currie cup final. Kannie Worrie put a bunch of flowers on the Western Province shield and toilet paper on the Northern Transvaal shield. Chased all the Northern Transvaal supporters outside Caseys and they had to creep under the swinging door entering into Casey's bar, he gave each one a clout as they came through. We were listening to the game on Harry and Alwys's radio (no tv those days).
@ Pepe

@ Georg, LOL, you right, he was entertainment on his own. I got your PM and trying to locate him. I answered your mail.
