Whenever Graham would finish a few pieces of his works, he would add a few pages to his "never-ending book" titled "The Halls of Learning". He changed the title to "Three Bronze Swagmen" almost a year before his death. His book, in HIS formatting, ran to seven hundred pages. In 'normal' formatting, Graham's book is closer to thirteen hundred (1300) pages. Preparing his works for publishing is taking a bit of work.

The following piece is one of his Preludes...

PRELUDE 11
(c) Graham Fredriksen 1956 - 2010

He did some great work Mannie that is for sure - would you consider maybe putting one of Grahams pieces onto the CD that we are contemplating...it would IMO be a nice tribute

Cheers

G'day Manfred,

Where do I put my name down for an advanced or regular for that matter copy of the book.

... good to see others recognise greatness. The book will be a while yet before it's published.
Graham had two smaller books self published a few years back, "Another Day in Paradise" and "Paradise Revisited". I believe there are a few copies still around. I'll contact the family for appropriate contact numbers.

Thanks Manfred,

Hope I am first on the list.

An amazing poem; incredible talent; a terrible loss. Graham has left a wonderful legacy.

Yes it is a pleasure to read Grahams work here, thanks to his family for allowing Manfred to 'drip-feed' us his outstanding way with rhythm and rhyme. It is greatly appreciated.

Marty

I think this man would have been a man to walk the river with.

Dave.

yep.
