The Little Willies

If you love that good old fashioned, knee-slappin’, honky tonk country music then the latest album by The Little Willies, For The Good Times, is a must have.

The Little Willies is made up of the highly acclaimed Norah Jones (piano, vocals), Lee Alexander (bass), Jim Campilongo (guitar), Richard Julian (guitar, vocals) and Dan Rieser (drums).

Jones trades her lush, melancholic melodies for some county twang, covering the band’s favourite songwriters, including Loretta Lynn, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Lefty Frizell and Dolly Parton.

Getting on, and off, the horses
25 Nov 2011

I HAVE spent a few bob over the years in TABs and racetracks in both country and city. Thoroughbreds and trotters have received my patronage and I have had my fair share of luck, but like most punters

The sweet taste of commercial success
11 Nov 2011

WE USED to pack our crop of table grapes into sturdy 10kg boxes and send them overseas to Singapore and Bangkok – markets we lost to competitors from Chile and South Africa when the Aussie dollar started its steady upward movement a few years back.

Brew Review: Sleeping Giant IPA

After the disappointment of the previous Gage Roads beer review (Atomic Pale Ale) it was only fair to give the brewer’s IPA a test run.

MURRAY Ball’s New Zealand cartoon strip Footrot Flats has always struck a note with me and it’s no coincidence Jess, our not-so-pure border collie, was named after the Dog’s girlfriend featured in the story.

Is the art of conversation dying?
17 Jan 2012

Recently at a family dinner I watched the couple at the end of our table – a niece and her husband in their early 30’s spend most of the time sending and receiving text messages and checking up on their Facebook postings.

The Christmas Day Juggling Act
07 Dec 2011

I hate to admit it, but a part of me really dreads Christmas.  Don't get me wrong, I love all of the Christmas 'hoo ha', decorations going up, buying gifts, carols in the supermarket and all the rest.  I have been known to start playing carols in the car in October. It was the kids' suggestion, promise.

Happy Trails

When we travelled to India several years ago we used an agent to book our air fares and decided on joining a small group led by Intrepid Travel to take us through Delhi, Agra, Rajhastan, Mumbai and Goa. We had a wonderful trip and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

We’ve been to Bali too
19 Dec 2011

OUR long-awaited family holiday in Bali did not begin well. First, our plane had to circle Denpasar airport for an hour because US President Barack Obama decided to fly out as we were flying in.

This is club music at its finest. Even to someone who’s gone a few years beyond the club scene demographic, that’s obvious because David Guetta has a hand in three tracks, Pitbull and Snoop Dog appear twice each, and there’s a lot of collaborations that either “feat.” another artist or that pit one “vs” the other. That’s apparently how collaborations are done these days.
