NEW: Alive in Grampians - Gariwerd
CD $22
Eight new songs written for and with the Grampians community in Victoria, following the devastating bushfires in January 2006. Songs include joyful celebrations of the mountains and district, (Anthem and Heartbeat Heard), stories of the indigenous land-owners (Fields of Myrnong) and early settlers (Quarry song), and two powerful songs telling the drama of the fire (Wildfire 2006) and the sweet signs of recovery (Out of the Ashes). In addition there are two songs for children, the Gariwerd Hiking Song and Green Things Growing.
The words of Green Things Growing were written in 1926 by a (then) 12 year-old Myrtle Pickering who is still alive and well in her nineties, and living in the district.
Sung by Fay White and the Gariwerd choir, a must for any community who has similarly suffered bushfire.

Journey- Fay White, Family & Friends - LIVE!
CD $22
A
warm and delightful recording of a glowing night of music with a 500
voice audience and a cast of some of Victoria’s finest independent
and folk musicians. The concert was a fabulous celebration of life,
friendship and fine music. You hear Andy Rigby’s harp, Randall
Matthew’s fiddle. Mark Donaldson’s keyboards, Geoff James’
guitar, Viv Adolphous’s harmonies, John Adolphous’s clarinet,
banjo and bass, Rod Wilson’s percussion and Dave Rackham’s
mandola. And of course the voices of Fay, Terry, Ilka and Tali White.
As well as nine of Fay’s classics there are six previously unrecorded
songs—twenty tracks in all. These include an original harp tune by Andy,
a couple of comic surprises and the most beautiful waltz of the twentieth
century by George Wilson.

 The
Soil Ain't Dirt collection has become something of a classic in
Environmental Education in Australia. Its mixture of whimsical and inspiring
songs carries powerful messages about how and why to care for the earth.
Now on CD with 6 extra songs, it is a wonderful tool for teachers and
parents wanting to encourage interest and positive attitudes in children
who will be the Landcarers of the future.
These 16 songs are fun and easy to sing. They are also packed with accurate
information that is easy for children to remember. There are songs about
soil, worms and compost; catchments and the movement of water; salinity
and tree planting (including one about direct seeding), and the big
picture of the earth in space and eco-systems as a whole.

written and performed ... with superb chorus and instrumental backing."
