Subject: RE: The photographs of Brian Shuel
amazing photos, Tony, thanks for the link. I've spent far too much time looking at pics when I was supposed to be doing other stuff. His Abstract folder is one I have, tho I call mine "patterns' for pics that do not fit into other categories.

A few of these artists have been to Australia & it was good to see younger pics of them. I had a great time putting faces to people I've read about, especially Redd Sullivan as he played an important role in the early days of the Bush Music Club, est 1954 as part of the nation-wide movement to collect & re-popularise Australian songs & tunes to counter the increasing Americanisation of Australian culture.

Redd introduced the club to Charlie Mopps which was adapted with local pub names, and had several extra verses added, & became the Club's unofficial anthem & is still sung enthusiastically today.
