Tina's 40th - 'Tinamite'

Tina's 40th

I organised a surprise lunch for my wonderful friend Tina and sang her this song to celebrate her 40th birthday. She is a passionate astrologer, hence the stars and star sign reference. As a present from her sister Kim, she was treated to a posh haircut in Brisbane and the party was the first time we had seen the new shorter style which really suited her. She also had a new 'body' after working with a personal trainer.

I started writing another song, which turned in to a song about shopping at Woolworths and not a birthday song! I was really worried for a few days as I wanted to come up with something more personal.

I was driving in the car with my daughter and this song came on the radio. We were singing along and I realised Dynamite could be come 'Tinamite' and then it flowed!

A lovely lunch, lovely company and now a lovely memory.
