Hi Folks,
What an exciting month it's been with THREE books in the market place
for Christmas and TWO NEW CDs released!
NEW CDS
FINALLY I have re-released all the songs which have been UNAVAILABLE
for so long!
The NEW CD compilation is called 'The
Jim Haynes Collection' and
features 14 songs including Don’t Call Wagga Wagga Wagga,
The Fish Song, I’ll Have
Chips, Where There’s A Will, I Wish I’d Met
You Sooner (With Beccy Cole), Raven ‘bout
Robin, Weelabarabak For Me and OF COURSE, Rindercella and Since
Cheryl Went Feral.
Many of you have asked for these songs ...and now they are available
again.
Also NEW to the on line order
is AUSTRALIAN COMIC RHYMED VERSE featuring
comic Aussie verse recited by me and
Grant Luhrs with some lovely 'mood' music.
The 32 poems chosen for this new album range from ‘classics’ and
old favourites by ‘Banjo’ Paterson, Henry Lawson, CJ Dennis
and the prolific ‘Anon’, to modern verse by Graham Watt,
Wilbur Howcroft and myself. There are also a few surprises, wonderful
verse not heard or published for many years by poets like Jack Sorenson
and Jim Graham.
Grant produced the album and did a GREAT job!
On the 'BOOK FRONT'
THE ABC BOOK OF
AUSTRALIAN COUNTRY MUSIC is going really
well and the new BIG BOOK OF VERSE FOR AUSSIE
KIDS has had
some wonderful reviews and is selling well also.
The surprising news is that Harper Collins have republished ALL
ABOARD! Tales of Australian Railways and it is again available
on the mail order page. So many people have asked for this book since
it sold out and it's great to have it back in circulation.
It's a great collection of stories by authors like Mark Twain and Robert
Louis Stevenson and D H LAwrence and EVERY story is about the Aussie
Railways! There are some great yarns and verse and some fascinating history
too.
We are all prepared for Tamworth and you may see the TV ads for the
two breakfast shows soon. All the information is available in a separate
news bulletin!
We are very excited about the NEW look breakfast show and hope to see
many of you at Tamworth.
Have a GREAT AUSSIE CHRISTMAS and
stay safe over the holidays!
