The Facebook Page has become something of a reflection of the issues concerning the show's friends and often indicates early trends of what is happening here in Australia. 

Of late the issue of Fracking & CSG has resulted in some very peaceful protests that have resulted in one government changing its spin doctoring about its legislation. Most citizens however are not satisfied that the changes are adequate or will protect the irreplaceable aquifers used in many places for water supply.  

Action to stiffen parliamentary member's vertebra in the face of pressure from soft drinks manufacturers to prevent proven common sense recycling rewards has also been occurring. 

The plight of asylum seekers and perceived governmental breaches of duty of care. 

Commentary on Pope Francis I's biography. 

I particularly hope that some of the overseas readers

of the blog will come forward and say hello.

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....

Hello and Welcome.

After the programme & in the spirit of unity contained in Community radio I held the fort until relieved by Jean to continue her “Music for the Faith Journey”. It was a sadly nostalgic experience listening to some music that I had not heard since childhood. The same sad nostalgia held for Father Christmas & fairies. I retained the folk flavour by playing the choir of the St Barnabas Chapel on Pitcairn Island together with a small selection from Joan Baez. For the record here is an agnostic's gift to those still believing and here is what the listeners got:

St Barnabas Chapel Choir, Pitcairn Island	In the Sweet By & By, Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer, Pitcairn Anthem “Prayer of John Adams”.
Joan Baez	Here's to You, Amazing Grace, Swing Low Sweet Chariot.

I have been a little short of "Round Tuits" this week and did not manage to post the sound bites from last week's programme. They are now ready for going to Soundcloud and should be up in the next day or so.
