It's interesting to think about the royal wedding as 'theatre'. I have been to weddings in churches, in gardens and on a beach. When I think about each of the weddings I have attended as well as the royal wedding (which I must admit I only watched part of), it made me think about the concept of setting and form.

I just got word that I am amongst the group of songwriters who have progressed to the second stage of judging in the 2010 ASA competition in the following categories: ballad - song 'Fool Today'; country - song 'A Horse Called Incredible Pain'; kids - song 'Morris The Dog'. 

You can now download and view PDF versions of the lyrics and chords for many Deep Water Bend tunes.

Handball is number one in the schoolyard for Aussie kids. It is not a recognized sport but is unique in that it is completely unisex. Any discrimination between girls and boys exists at a personal level - the game itself is neither a girls' game nor a boys' game although boys generally dominate handball courts through aggressiveness unless exceptionally skilled girls join the boys' games.
