My thanks go to hospitable hosts at Laharum who on Saturday opened their gates and not only shared with the Wimmera Oasis Migrant's Group their forest and beautiful mountainside in the Grampians (Gariwerd) but afterwards put on a very tasty spread including Australian damper cooked on greensticks over a properly constructed open pit fire. Photographs to come later.

Folk Magazine: After many years of supporting the only Australian commercial magazine purporting to report on folkmusic, I have decided that their intransigent unco-operative behaviour and differing perspective of what is folk music have resulted in me not renewing the subscription. Yeah, I'm slow. The money can be better used supporting not for profit folk societies and folk musicians whose music I wish to purchase for the radio programme.

Artistes Broadcast: To listeners who wonder why their favourite artiste is not on the programme I suggest one or more of the following occurred : 1. I have never heard your favourite 2. I cannot afford your favourite 3. Your favourite fails to understand that s/he receives benefit from being broadcast and receiving local exposure and royalties paid. Additionally they receive further Australian and international exposure through this blog. 4. Notwithstanding 3. I very rarely accept gifts from artistes, it usually only occurs to compensate for previous purchases overcharged at full price or as part of writing unpaid reviews. Some current artiste's behaviour and belief that anything performed with an un-amplified instrument is folk music, is making me reconsider the validity of the ethics of this position however. 5.Your Favourite is not a traditional or folk music performer suited to the programme or the description of folk music given elsewhere in this blog.

Highlights of my week:

Having shamateurs claiming professionalism & then become paranoid that the world recognise the fact and shout “the Emperor has no clothes on”.

That they consider a lot of others who were professional and/or recognisably performed to the best of their rising abilities be ignored in favour of their ego is indicative of sorry state existing at the moment. That others should be inconvenienced / punished by their selfish dishonest intransigent behaviour makes me angry.

I am reminded of a company that for many years claimed superb management and control. It employed people to examine and report the same. That same company a few years ago almost brought the American government and economy to its knees with its need for bail out.

Why did this occur?

Everyone wanted to view a pretty picture which was then painted to boost the viewer's egos.

Unfortunately the knowledge of the danger of painting on rice paper became subsumed by a desire for pelf, self admiring ego protection and loss of integrity.  All fomented & maintained by self serving litigious action, war and/or bullying threat of the same.

I loved a question posed during the week: If a lilly grows in a pond and each day grows to cover an area equal to what it covered at the beginning of the day, how many days did it take to cover the last half of the surface area if the pond surface is totally covered in forty nine days?

Similarly it should be realised that if I draw conclusions & make statements that have previously been unrecognised, then an awful lot of other people around the world are drawing the same conclusions and making the same statements! A self serving media industry seems to have developed a habit of not reporting but entertaining and driving emotive belief and decisions.

And my own question: What happens on the fiftieth day? Lily cannibalism or genetic modification and development?

My big thanks to all the Melbourne Tram drivers and their passengers for their wonderful courtesy and help. I have never before encountered similar anywhere on public transport.

I wish all life's encounters could be even a quarter as uplifting. What a miserable selfish greedy world it has become.

And why was I in Melbourne? I was asked out of my 'cave' in the west by Sofia Chapman, Vardos, to record her play “The Four Accordianists of the Apocalypse” for posterity if not Australian Community Radio....await future news with anticipation of good things.
