Surprise call!!

[David J Delaney]

G'day all, a few weeks back I sent an email to Pixie Jenkins, for those of you who don't know him, he is the fiddle player in John Williamsons back up band & the best fiddle player in Oz, He also has his own Sunday morning radio show, well I mentioned in my email about my new book & he actually emailed back, I won't go into detail on what was said but I ended up sending him a copy of my book, you wouldn't believe it, but today while I was at work Pixie rang me & wanted to do a pre-recorded interview to be played on his Christmas morning show we talked about all about the book & he said he loved my Captain Reg. Saunders poem & will read it on air after the interview whoooooHooooo!! he is on 98.9 FM.

who's a happy boy then...

Excellent Dave - happy for you and beaut that 'Reg' is going to air - it will make people sit up and take notice, and for those of you who don't know 98.9 FM is a Brisbane indigenous radio station that plays the best country music and is always willing to give new artists a go. The interviews they do on there are always really interesting and they also give lots of young people training in radio techniques. A very community minded station with listeners right across Australia...98.9 is my Radio Station.....LOVE IT

GO YOU GOOD THING

Thank you Robyn,

& Heather, shades of Helen Reddy's "Angie Baby"

When he walks in her room,
He feels confused like he's walked into a play
And the music's so loud it spins him around
'Til his soul has lost its way
And as she turns the volume down
He's getting smaller with the sound
It seems to pull him off the ground
Toward the radio he's bound never to be found

The headlines read that a boy disappeared
and everyone thinks he died
'Cept a crazy girl with a secret lover
Who keeps her satisfied
It's so nice to be insane
No one asks you to explain
Radio by your side, Angie Baby

[Maureen K Clifford]

Always loved that song
