I believe,( living in a country town) that we should support any local businesses. However, this is why I order online now... Firstly, because I work long hours, shift work...so I don't have time. BUT secondly, I only started to do this when the local music store closed down, so now... we only have chain retailers. I had always supported the locally owned store, but having me as a customer was not enough to keep them in business.

I do not as a rule copy music though... I do have music that my friends have copied for me, but I continue to support the artists by buying their music.

I completely agree that music can be mood altering. I find that if I put rock music in my car, I have a higher risk of getting speeding fines.

Hello John... Lovely to see you again. Was that a regular show over there?

Hello again John,

Recently Australia upgraded it's television networks across the country... with that I had to upgrade my television and the free TV gave us more channels. To put this in perspective, we had five channels locally before the change. After the change, one of my favorite moments was finding the old TV shows, Happy Days being one of them!! ( Of course, there was also "Are you being served", "Bewitched"... many of the shows that I hadn't seen since I was a child)

One of the guys at work was recently telling me that he has a juke box in his home...Now that sounds like a brilliant idea!

Which is why we have artists like Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, Jimmy Barnes, Tina Turner still out there rocking their stuff. I love how occasionally they have re-unions and these big names get together, or for the sake of charity. I am not sure you are familiar with Jimmy, so I thought I would share a clip... He is big here.



I don't recall the 8 tracks by the way, I do remember record players... and being told that we had to stop 'jumping' around them. And of course, my brother used to play Kiss constantly on his. Which was a huge difference from Dad's country and Mum's opera.

YouTube's impact on me personally has been anything but free... I order music more now than I ever have at any point in my life. Yesterday alone I received another five CD's on my doorstep. I believe in supporting the artist, and of course, it gives me a brilliant choice to listen to in my car, or in my home.

I can imagine as a musician you look through the last few years and see all the fine tuning in the industry... but that has to be exciting, being inside and seeing the mechanisms churning.

RE: Melbourne Cup

I have been invited for drinks after work by a few of the guys, I am still debating whether to join them or not. I will be up early on the day, which means a drink could make me drowsy.

RE: Melbourne Cup

Oh puh-lease... rub it in a bit more ...

RE: Melbourne Cup

I plan to work... because someone has to.

RE: funny australian sayings and slang

I actually was off work today because I thought I was getting a cold, I actually think it was a bit of fatigue from working long hours now. I went to the Chiro and had an adjustment done... just in time to work all weekend ... so here's hoping that is all yours is too.

RE: Anyone in ipswich

Your odds are good, I just looked it up and Ipswich has a population of 163383. Although, Shell's idea of looking it up with a postcode is a good idea. You can use the Search button for it, or use the link she provided.

RE: Relationships are like a Baseball Diamond

Just an honest observation. But sonny if you pass me my crotcheted rug for my knees and my knitting, we can chat about the olden times

RE: Relationships are like a Baseball Diamond

That's scary. I was just about to do the same!

Thank you for the laughter, Shell.

RE: Relationships are like a Baseball Diamond

Well said, Shell. I consider those positive experiences. Awww shucks, I would give you more than just muffins and coffee... I would share the Tupperware experience with you!

RE: Relationships are like a Baseball Diamond

Shell, it's okay... we can still have liquor coffee and muffins!
