Warrigal, thank you for the list. Unusually I can listen to some of them over the weekend. I have listened to the first as, yes, instructed and that’s a mystery. 🙂

Thanks for this Waz. Can I make these small offerings, Another Jimmy Little tune as well as the first Archie Roach. Jimmy Little has a fantastic voice and I find Archie Roach’s voice haunting. I’m not a great fan of country music, however I’ve always liked the simplicity of the Lionel Roase offering.
Jimmy Little – Yorta Yorta Man
Archie Roach – Took the children away

Yes, the voice of Gurrumul is extraordinary. I am quite deaf in both ears but when he sings, after the first note hardly out, it is him. No mistake. Beautiful, with not a hint of artifice or over-colouring. Thanks Waz.

I’m slowly working my way through the ones I don’t recognise, Warrigal… “Living in a House” is fascinating as both an ethnographic and historical document…

By any International standards, many of the players and much of the music is simply, extraordinary.
I am the proud owner of some of this music and will be putting it out through the new system, when I get it sorted. I have been gossiping to Hung elsewhere about that.
However, in the morning I will play these–off the computer–through my TDK cube. My laptop is on a desk, overlooking my ‘under construction’ herb & vegie garden. So if clement weather favours me, it will be windows open; shovel in hand and cube cranked up. It’s actually not very loud…but it’ll do.

Followed orders, and yes, the looks on their faces were priceless. The Sex Pistols wouldn’t have looked any more incredulous if she’d broken into Roadrunner on air guitar complete with wiv London accent.
The rest will have to wait.

Nothing to do with Blackfellas…or with music..
Got a postcard from Ireland today, it’s a picture of The Long Room of Trinity College Library in Dublin: it was designed by Thomas Burgh and was completed in 1732. It houses 200,000 of the Library’s oldest books and manuscripts including the Book of Kells.

Gurrumul is good, ‘heart-touchingly’ good, makes you feel all soul-ful, and almost teary…so pleased he’s doing well.
I have also always liked anything by Youthu Yindi, well done boys.

Loved Yothu Yindi but have Treaty LP on a cassette so can’t play in my car. Good selection but I must say don’t know them all. Will just have to have a listen then, won’t I.

Hi Viv,
Here’s something that I posted to Hung, on the Dot this morning. You can convert your cassettes 🙂

Hi VL – I got the conversion stuff for video to DVD and I thought about the LP stuff but I feel the quality of the records and the cassettes is such that the sound would not be crash hot. I have bought some CDs of LPs I had and have gradually got the best of them onto CD. I don’t have many cassettes worthy of conversion (probably only Treaty and one other). Thanks for the hint thought, appreciated.

Yes, I agree. Iv’e replaced many of my old cassettes with ‘old’ CDs.
However every now & again I unearth a compilation on a cassette that I made years ago. It has irreplaceable stuff on it–some of it untitled: just random tracks that I recorded during odd moments, in the late 60s, early 70s.
Tracks off Albums that I am never likely to buy again, but also not sure if I have the time to record it, AND of course play it…Maybe when I’m in a bath chair, in one of those elderly, Devon sanctuaries, staring out over the English channel, dreaming of yesteryear 🙂
