Judith is pictured with daughter Hannah and below she corresponds with presenter Maureen Meers who dedicated a couple of special music pieces to celebrate a family wedding. Dear Maureen, What a delightful friend you are! I have missed many of the jazz team’s programs over the last few weeks due to my now familiar technological black holes. Very sad loss indeed but it does make me even more appreciative when one or two of the 2MBS jazz programs sneaks through. One of these, I am thrilled to say, was your fabulous and thoughtful tribute that began with the Saratoga Drag and ended with Golden Wedding. How incredible of you! And, however did you find an old-time, big band song with Saratoga in the title!!! “Wedding” was probably not so easy either but “Saratoga” astonished me. You gave me a good chuckle at Crouching tiger what was probably a tense pre-wedding time period. How to say thank you for that personal touch of yours - but thank you none the less. At the wedding itself,there was so much love and laughter in the air along Tan Dun’s Martial with hugs and smiles galore. In classic style, the sun poured through just in time following a wet and wild morning. The historic building with its vaulted and stained glass colors was stunning.

Fondly, Judith 2 Music FM 102.5 fine Simon says: DISPELLING THE MUSIC-MATHS MYTH Geometry, calculus, algebra, “ “arithmetic, you name it, I hated it.. My paternal grandmother, like many of her generation, was an immigrant. A Berliner born into the prosperous middle class, she fled Germany with her family when her parents saw the writing on the wall. The other side of my family were not so lucky, but that’s another story. Ruth settled in Australia, met my grandfather and slowly began to build a life in this oasis that was so far from the ravages of Europe, a new life that signified both emancipation and a sacrifice. In time, she became a maths teacher and a very good one. Like my father, she cultivated a perfect synergy of didacticism and empathy. One could not help but learn from her. Her readiness to help coupled with an unswerving logic and infinite patience inculcated in her students a strong grasp of the subject that would remain with them for the remainder of their lives. That is, until I came along. In school, when I wasn’t playing piano, I did well and even achieved some academic honours, especially in the “humanities”, where I excelled. The problem was maths.

Signature of Student: Date: 12 August 2014 3 INTRODUCTION Alf Pollard’s contribution to the business history of Australia is as yet unwritten—both as a biography of the man himself, but also his singular, albeit often quiet, achievements. He helped to shape the business world in which he operated and, in parallel, made outstanding contributions to Australian society. Cultural deprivation theory tells us that people who are working class have themselves to blame for the failure of their children in education1 and Alf was certainly from a low socio-economic, indeed extremely poor, family. He fitted such a child to the letter, although he later turned out to be an outstanding counter-example despite having no ‘built-in’ advantage as he not been socialised in a dominant wealthy culture.

Sparks will fly as acclaimed pianist Simon Tedeschi joins forces with Adelaide percussionist Nick Parnell in a musical celebration of rhythm, colour and vitality. Blurring the lines between classical and jazz, this spectacular show will include Simon’s signature work - Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue - and the dazzling, Brazilian-inspired Bem-Vindo. “This collaboration came about after Simon and I met in Sydney more than a year ago. It wasn’t long before we realised that we both have a passion for not only classical music, but for jazz as well,” Nick explains. “We decided it would be fun to play music together because we both share the same sense of adventure in exploring different styles of music. It’s going to be exciting to see what happens in the performance!” Virtuosi will be the very first time Nick and Simon have collaborated on stage and the performance is set to be explosive! Both artists have recently returned from extended overseas performances tours. Nick is fresh from a performance and research tour of the USA, France and the UK after winning the prestigious “Dame Roma Churchill Fellowship”.
