There are Literally hundreds upon hundreds of great titles. If you would like to order from this newsletter you can email, phone or post an order. If phoning please feel free to call after hours From 8.00am up until 7.00pm is fine. I have a couple of pieces of bad news. Firstly my dear mum, Rose Reid, passed away on February 23rd. Many knew her as she worked Wednesdays at the old Parramatta store from 1990-2000 and filled in when I went on buying trips. It has been a trying period but I can honestly say she loved her time in the shop especially meeting and talking to many fine people and was a keen music buff, something that has passed on through the genes. Secondly, we lost a dear friend in Norm Pyne. Many who went to the Parramatta store would have seen a blind guy getting round with only a cane. My admiration for Norm was limitless. I never considered him handicapped in any way and he was always thankful for his independence. It is a sad irony of life that it is probably this independence which saw him involved in an horrific accident which cost him his life.

  • 10 Years Since the Passing of a Legend
    10 years since the passing of a legend... It seems incredible to think that Thursday, September 19 was the 10 year anniversary of the death of country music legend Slim Dusty. Regardless of the time that has passed since that sad day in 2003, it has never been more evident that rather than diminishing, his memory continues to grow with time. Over a remarkably successful career of more than 50 years, Slim is acclaimed as Australia’s King Of Country. He is not only a forefather of the country music scene but via his early overseas chart success and his legendary outback tours with Joy McKean, Slim Dusty is also recognised as a true pioneer of the broader Australian music and entertainment industry. “Slim and I spent over 50 years working and travelling together,” says Joy McKean, “as we raised a family of our two children Anne and David and then watched our four grandchildren grow up. “The 19th of September will be a quiet day for me as I remember the times we had, and as my family remembers their father and grandfather; people all over Australia will remember the singer who told their stories become a “Mate of Slim Dusty” to help Slim’s dream and loved his country and the people he met over the finally be realised. years. I treasure those memories, and I thank everyone for the memories of Slim they have sent to me.” The Slim Dusty Foundation are calling on Slim’s mates from all around Australia to join up at www.
