Charlotte Peters Rock

Has recently published a performance of a recent song wriiten by her - Poverty.

She writes   

And Poverty - Song written earlier this year - 2021 - to express the need for everyone to act together, to stop poverty, which is a class concept - unnecessary and harmful.

Australian living history & people's long memories.

This is a fantastic presentation of recordings & performances by some of the Australia's best in the last 75 years. 

I once knew many of their songs & some through their live performances & interviews. I kept their performances alive broadcasting their recordings on community radio.

1st & foremost it is always entertainment. However  I consider the heritage aspect to be priceless & in Australia neglected apart from the few who fight against the odds to preserve it. In this Mammon indoctrinated world of "money talks bullshit walks" the incalculable worth of heritage has been forgotten. As I once said to the Australian parliament "only a fool discards his heritage without finding out what it is worth". Recent governments have preferred to allow Australians to be inculcated & indoctrinated by American godbothering evangelists who have encircled the Australian citizens with their proselytising local community radio stations.  The broadcasts have little to do with enabling intelligent communities.

I recommend the BMC video of the 2012 Nationals performance to all, whether folkie, Australian or not.

vale Bill Arnott & John Thompson

News has just been received of the deaths of Bill Arnott organiser of the Merry Muse and John Thompson (d.04.02.2021) co-founder of Cloudstreet.

https://folkfednsw.org.au

My lasting memory of Bill was the year that I found him in tears following the destruction of his carefully decorated venue at the Nationals by festival goers who used the venue for other purpose.

Of John I interviewed him once at the Nationals and was saddened by his lack of understanding that the music genre is not just about personal ego & monetary reward but for the enhancement of all.

Guitarist Matthew Fagan at Haven

Tonight I had the unexpected joy of listening to a concert given by a superb Australian guitar player by the name of Mathew Fagan. Unexpected as it tends to be a long time between such treats for the ears out here in Western Victoria.

The music ranged from the ubiquitous Greensleeves through traditional Spanish, Irish and American to Mark Knopfler with diversions to a number of classical pieces.

A selection from 8 CD's were for sale at very reasonable individual prices and a trove when bought in multiples.
A performance of great guitar playing highly recommended to all.

Founder of Wimmera Voices Choir shares Long Memory

New chum to the Wimmera,  Max Pietruschka who has formed the energetic Wimmera Voices Choir based upon the concept of Dr Jonathon Walsh's Choir of Hard Knocks recently shared a beautiful family memory.

As Max's memory much more elegantly states a long held and published view of mine regarding classically trained opera singers trying to perform folk songs,  I share it not only to emphasise my viewpoint but also to publicise another form of folk singing now available in Horsham every Monday night at 6:30 pm at the CWA Hall.

Max's share. (told with an assumed heavy Russian accent):
" My Vather,  Ivan , was a violinist with the Melbourne S.O.. He also used to sing in a magnificent deep voice. He told me when I was only a small boy "Max, ven you zing, zing from ze heart.  Ze greatest opera singer can zing a zong pitch perfect but no-von will remember or enjoy,  BUT zing vrom ze heart and not zing every note pitch perfect and ze audience vill love you and remember you alvays! "

George Mann / Joe Hill Homage Concert in Australia

George Mann has produced a concert to pay homage to the great Swedish / American Unionist Joe Hill who was judicially murdered 100 years ago come the 15th November.

George will be touring in NSW and Victoria in mid or late November 2015 to share this historic concert with Australian audiences. Anticipated performance locations are Sydney,  Wollongong,  Albury, Melbourne and Geelong. I'm sure however that if adequate support is forthcoming from other cities or locations George can be persuaded to perform there also.

I notice that the link to George Mann's web site is missing,  a casualty like myself of the December 2013 malfeasance by the local radio station members and committee. I will post the link asap.

15/12/2013 Purported Dismissal as Member & Presenter for Standing Up for Safe Working Conditions.

On Sunday 15th December 2013 on completing the Gypsy Jack Boggle Show I was confronted by an armed security guard and two committee members who claimed that at a previously held committee meeting on the Tuesday night I had been deprived of my membership of Horsham and District Community FM Radio Inc.

I was held prisoner in the radio station until I handed over my key to the station and my locker. Even having done that I continued to be unlawfully detained. A verbal demand being made that I hand over the parking permit that the secretary 'graciously' drew up after four months of requests to replace the old one made inoperative through the theft of my car registration plates whilst broadcasting. 

Eventually I was let out of the building when the reality sank in that I was not secreting the cardboard permit on my person but that the parking permit was appropriately displayed outside on my motor vehicle's windscreen. 

At present I am awaiting on the secretary supplying information on the authority purporting to legalise this infringement of my rights and membership together with an explanation as to why I am slandered by the committee in this matter. 

As a point of importance I  wish to know why the committee have not safeguarded the members & public by ensuring that electrical equipment is properly maintained and tested according to normal Australian Worksafe practices.

This is particularly relevant as a large group of very young infant schoolchildren were crammed into a small studio only the next day exposing them to these possibly hazardous conditions.

Needless to say the Gypsy Jack Boggle Show and its spin off programme Gypsy Jack's Luscious Late Listen  will not be heard on Horsham's Community Radio until this matter is sorted.

The Bohemian Beat Testimonial & Broadcast

Gypsy Jack,

You are doing your community a great service to record these poems, for if we don't take the initiative to record these pieces, they run risk of being lost to us forever. Unfortunately in our economic mindset - archiving is terribly neglected. So it is people like you, who understand the importance of poetic expression and take the initiative to help preserve our poetic history for future generations.

Well done with the quality of the recordings, and the performances are really good too. Soundcloud is an awesome way to share information. Its hard to find available good Australian content so you are certainly not just helping programs like The Bohemian Beat but are also helping save old texts and poetry from becoming obsolete.

Today 28th November I played your performance of A.K. McDougal's "My Songs". It will be broadcast nationally in about two weeks - Sunday between 10:00 & 11:00 am., and the following Tuesday between 00:01 & 01:00 am. 

Thank you and keep up the great work!

Cheers,
Riddhi

No undemocratic anti citizen TPP in Horsham if you please.

The Mayor, Councillors and Citizens of Horsham Rural City Council Local Government Area,

An Open Letter:

Please don't let the Trans-Pacific Partnership take away our democratic rights as individuals and as a community!

Create a "TPP-Free Zone" here in Horsham.

From leaked text and previous trade agreements, it is clear that the TPP would threaten laws and regulation designed to protect public health, financial transparency, food safety, workers rights, the climate and the environment. It would allow governments to be sued by corporations for lost profit as a result of these ordinances. Yet citizens, labor, environmental, health care, internet/free press, climate justice, green energy and democracy organizations have all been excluded from the negotiations. They cannot see the text, nor comment on it despite the impact of the TPP on all of them.

It is time to be part of the democratic movement of vigorous active participation. It is time to start right where we live, in our own community. It is time to shake off apathy and colonial practices of knuckling the forehead to self proclaimed superiority and outrageous behaviour against the majority.
The people of the Wimmera and Horsham have a history of having taken a harsh land into the 21st century by building some infrastructure, agriculture and a few other supportive industries through hard fought effort. Are you going to allow that to be sold out to rapacious foreign corporations that are more concerned with their fast profits than the welfare of our local citizens?

You won't if you have inherited the decency and community spirit that enabled your ancestors to achieve what they did with the limited resources available to them.

Therefore I urge you to debate this issue and then pass the necessary by-laws to protect your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren from this obscene attempt to enslave you without a whimper.

Gypsy Jack though Richard will do as well as Rjn.

Until 15th. December 2013 you could hear the programme's on Horsham's Community Radio Station 3H 96.5FM - Sundays 1-4 pm The Gypsy Jack Boggle Show. Themes: Australian, Celtic, English, World, Long Sets & Ballads, Classical.

- Mondays 8-12 pm Gypsy Jack's Luscious Late Listen bringing you jazz and late night loving lyrics.
After being bailed up by two committee members and an armed security man the programme ceased. No adequate reason other than the committee's prior malfeasant behaviour and failure to properly provide the local citizens with community radio services as required by their licence has been forthcoming. 

My programme's were all interspersed with Poetry & Good Cheer!

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 and to friends around the world. It is a 'must' read if you wish to maximise your enjoyment and experience.

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.

Next Sunday – Celtic Theme –

“have a fffolking good week”.

Tune in or chew your own ears off.

Don't forget to tune in tomorrow night for the

Gypsy Jack's Luscious Late Listen –

Two hours, or there abouts, of classical jazz, followed by two hours of smooth seductive sounds until midnight.

APOLOGY

Sorry everyone. 

I am currently having large problems with my landlord and our legal system taking up too much of my time.  

I will before too long share a story of elderly abuse, discrimination, bullying & intimidation occurring here in Australia.

Eventually I will find time to update the logs, the show has continued to air & some wonderful poetry has been performed. 

Keep visiting and before long I will have new lists & links for you.

Til then keep on fffolking.
