I've been re-living the music of my youth. One of my favourite bands in the late '60s/early '70s was Flying Circus. They were very much like The Byrds - complete with that jingle jangle sound that can only be made with a Rickenbacker 12 string. I've recently been re-visiting their early Australian a...

That's a good piece of legislation. I wish we would enact similar in Australia. We seem to have farmed out all of our service calls to India. jack: There’s a HUGE difference between the trade positions that the US and Australia enjoy with India.

Very disappointed with the "lost tracks" from Exile on Main Street , my favourite album of all time. But they got me to buy an album I already own, so it worked. :cry: Also disappointed with Hendrix's Valleys of Neptune . Some stuff really shouldn't be released after all these years. Sometimes "los...

A great 1967 recording featuring Peter Green on guitar, who replaced Eric Clapton in the band.

... company suddenly pulls the plug and closes their doors? If nobody buys these labels—given the not-so-great economic condition of the world and the huge prices that would have to be paid for such acquisitions—what happens to all these great master recordings?

Murger's novel Scenes de la vie Boheme runs to about 350 pages.

Puccini chose to set 4 scenes in his opera; the book has 23.

Thanks for that link; I'll certainly get along to some concerts.

Those lunchtime concerts (@ $10 a ticket) look great value.

The ABC Classical network may well be ad-free but their announcers simply talk too much; they play too many excerpts rather than complete works and the hourly news breaks are unnecessary and interruptive. The Musical Broadcasting Society’s radio stations are FAR superior to the ABC. Try 2MBS in Sydn...
