24.01.2022 I have been invited to talk about gumleaf playing with Libby Gore on ABC Radio Melbourne 774 tomorrow morning at 10.40am. Hopefully some listeners might be interested in learning to play and help carry on the tradition of gumleaf playing. If anyone would like a lesson, feel free to give me a call.

13.01.2022 Items you CANNOT get at Woolies but can get it at the Warburton Summer Produce Market. Fresh organic vegetables grown in Wesburn, incredible bread locally baked..., Honey and eggs coming from anthers of flowers and chicken bums up at Mcmahons Creek, This other amazing specialty bread made in Warburton, Biodynamic strawberries from Hoddles Creek, Homemade chutneys and spreads -Warburton, A variety of alcoholic beverages THAT YOU CAN DRINK WHILE SHOPPING!!!,Hoddles Creek. Beeswax wraps made in Warburton, you can buy shampoo and conditioner-yes you can do that woolies BUT YOU can't take your own refillable container and get them filled!!!!(take a breathe). Seedlings! Seedlings! organic to boot- Get that autumn planting happening. You can also buy delicious food from stalls by BT Dubs and Symphony 36 - cant do that at Woolies. Also you cant go up and talk to a real live CFA member -actually thats not true -you can talk to them any time you want - They are just like you and me but wear funny hats. THINGS YOU CAN DO AT THE WARBURTON PRODUCE MARKET THAT WOULD GET YOU LOCKED UP IF YOU DID THEM IN WOOLIES. 1.Have your face painted, buy a hand made Ocarina which you can play while skipping between stalls. 2.Put a PA system near the veggie stand and hook up some rocking local bands and start jiving with your mates. 3. Bring your dog! 4.let your kids rush madly around in the aisles with ice-cream in their hands (locally made ice-cream of course) 5. leave your kids in trolleys (there actually are no trolleys at the market but if there were -you could - for hours on end* )7. sit down and let someone massage your feet 8. discreetly break wind (no one will ever know)9. commence a romantic relationship. 10. Buy a teeshirt that has swear words on it *disclaimer re trolleys -this is joke -really you should not leave your kids in trolleys -It is a good idea of Woolies to make this a thing. Market starts at 4.30 till sunset at the back of the Arts Centre. https://www.facebook.com/warburtonsummerproducemarket/
