Please take a moment to remember the untimely passing of a former roadie for Kabin
FivaBand Peter Davies In 1989, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern
University . On a hike through the bush, he came across
a young bull elephant standing with his right front foot raised in the air.
The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully.
He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and
found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife, After which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face him, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day. FLASH FORWARD! Twenty years later, Peter was taking a break from being a roadie with Kabin Fiva Band and was walking through the local Zoo with his teenaged son. As
they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and
walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing. The large
bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its right front foot off the ground,
then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted
loudly, all the while staring at Peter. Remembering the encounter in 1989, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant. Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly. After a long investigation covered thousands of miles and two continents investigators solved the mystery............... Probably wasn't the same elephant! R.I.P Peter |
