Composed after a chance conversation while waiting to appear on ABC radio in Melbourne in 2006. A talkback caller just dropped this line "Hobbity Hoi" into a sentence, raising eyebrows all round. I thought “what a great title for a tune!”
Apparantly, it's an old fashioned word for rowdy teenage boys.

Once again Michael....just super playing in a very entertaining tune. Love the tempo & rhythm changes, transitions, and tight picking. And just when I thought there were no playing styles left to hear, I hear new ones. Awesome acoustic and recording.... ~Blake

Michael Fix has been evolving as one of Australian music's leading acoustic guitarists for the past decade or more. That's partly due to his remarkable skills as a guitarist, but mostly it's because of his unique music - a passionate, emotional, evocative outpouring that captivates listeners.</p>
<p>Michael's repertoire includes Jazz and Blues, Celtic and Australian Folk, Country, Classical and his own distinctive compositions, many of which have received TV and radio exposure, as well as various major awards.<br />Michael's unique style - distinctively Australian and highly original in its presentation - marks him as a performer not to be missed.<br />Following the impact his appearances have had over the past few years – particularly in Germany – he’s now been signed to the prestigious German Acoustic Music label.</p>
