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.
