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.
The
Gypsy Jack Boggle Show is now also on
Facebook
as Thegypsyjack Boggleshow
Whether you are a listener, a performer or just a
well-wisher please come and befriend us.
The show already has some wonderful friends.
Why don’t you also become one.
I
particularly hope that some of the overseas readers
of
the blog will come forward and say hello.
I
notice that we have in the last week had viewers from
many
places.
Our
opening theme song from the Spinners was not idly
chosen....we
are all part of the family of man no matter
where
we live, our nationality or the hue of our skin....
