Know Your Muso
Alright legends, it’s time for the next Daily Lockdown theme, and this one’s all about listening a little harder 👀🎶
KNOW YOUR MUSO is about stepping into someone else’s musical shoes.
Here’s how it works:
• We have a list of names ready. The Spinny Wheel Dude will spin the Wheel of Despinny (yes, that wheel), and the wheel will randomly choose who is paired with another Muso from the list.
• Your mission?
👉 Play a song you believe that person would enjoy or love. Not what you feel like playing.
This isn’t about showing off your own taste. It’s about how well you know your Muso:
• Their vibe
• Their era
• Their guilty pleasures
• Their deep cuts
Think of it as a musical gift, chosen with intention. You might get it spot-on… or you might completely surprise them. Both are wins!
So listen closely, trust your instincts, and remember: Sometimes the best songs say, “I see you.”

Lynyrd Skynyrd – Sweet Home Alabama (Live Oakland) — for Richard
Richard has that rare gift: a razor-sharp sense of humour, perfectly timed one-liners, and the ability to make us laugh when we least expect it. Whether he’s on the sidelines delivering commentary or out there line dancing like he owns the floor, he reminds us all to stay light, stay lively, and never take life too seriously.

Padre Guilherme & Karetus – Ave María (Scorpio BreakS ReFix) — for Paul P
To our dearest Paul P – aka Mad Porra, the Spinny Wheel Guy, and gentle friend to all of us 🤍
I thought of you when I stumbled across this DJ recently (before the theme even came around), so I hope I read it right – and that you enjoy it.
Father Guilherme Peixoto is a Portuguese Catholic priest and DJ who blends electronic dance music with religious music in his live performances.
He began DJing while on a mission in Afghanistan in 2010, entertaining soldiers. Back in Portugal, he took DJ lessons and started hosting club nights to raise funds for his parish church in Laundos.
Here is Ave Maria, with Padre Guilherme dropping the beats.
Wilfred
Julie Gautier – AMA — for Sue
Sue, this piece immediately made me think of you. Poised, elegant, and effortlessly graceful.
AMA is a beautiful underwater performance that feels like ballet suspended in time. It celebrates strength wrapped in elegance, qualities you carry so naturally.
I hope you enjoy this moment of quiet beauty I chose for you.

Jason Mraz – Living in the Moment — for Zosia
I know that you spent your working years preparing for the lifestyle you now enjoy in Wellington.
Being the positive and energetic person you have always been it must be wonderful to now have the time and opportunity to slow down a fraction.
This song typifies my thoughts about you at this time in your life, dear Zosia.
“LIVING IN THE MOMENT” by Jason Mraz
Errol
André Rieu – Sarie Marais (Cape Town) — for Geraldine
Our dear friend Geraldine is (I think…) an easy music pick. Think about it – she knows every famous musician, has been to all their shows, loves a good show, loves a spectacular show, loves good music, and lives near Cape Town. And is a regte patriot. Add those all together, and Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the great and spectacular André Rieu, in Cape Town, with the most patriotic song, Sarie Marais!
En kyk net hoe lekker sing so ‘n klomp Afrikaners!
And if you look carefully at 1:12, you may just see the lady of the moment. I think.

Sara Bareilles – I Choose You (Live at the Manderley Bar) — for Errol
We all know our Maestro loves ALL Music, so my choices were wide. This song reminds me how intentional our Maestro is in everything he does. He chooses his friends, and then is always there to show us his love and care, quietly orchestrating things in the background to make sure we all have the support we need when we are struggling.
Thank you for being the awesome human being and friend you are Errol.
Paul P
Jimi Hendrix – Voodoo Child (Slight Return) Live in Maui 1970 — for Paul L
So what do we know about Paul Lottreaux? He likes ALL instruments as long as it’s a Gibson guitar! 🤣
So I went looking for stuff from a popular guy and I was mortified when I saw a black dude playing a guitar left-handed!! What?! I must have the wrong guy!!
I went looking for the person I had in mind, and realised it was Jim Morisson from The Doors – JEEZ!! How wrong can a guy be, what an insult! Anyway journey 1 started.
And his name is spekked Jimi Hendrix – he’s not HENDRICKS from CT. 🤣
So anyway … I blasted through some videos and realised this dude was relevant when I was just born. His music sounded … well, funny (I’m a music Dummy, remember?!). But then I saw more and more and I thought to myself – How the heck does he manipulate that piece of wood like that which has 6 tiny strings, to get that sound out? And how does he do some of those things I saw him do?!
He plays the guitar upside down and right handed with the tension tuned completely the opposite way, but he still cracks that tune perfectly. He wangles that wire-looking thingy on the back of the guitar like he invented it; he was playing tunes with one hand while the other was in the air – how? He used his teeth a few times! He looked like an acrobat when playing other songs. This guy is not normal man!
Anyway I will share a link of all the unique stuff he invented, created, perfected, re-incarnated, rejuvenated — yeah stuff I have no idea about.
Some of the stuff reminded me of Paul L, and some didn’t haha. Paul has been through it all, has experienced many things, has done lots of things, and has tried many things and industries. He is always well-tuned, refined, dresses well (Ok Jimmy was different), he is himself, he is confident, and loves his guitars.
I sincerely hope that:
– Paul L enjoys Jimi Hendrix
– The song I chose is not “noise”
