Dindy Vaughan, our keen supporter in Australia,
hosted a launch for “I am in need of music.” The gathering occurred
at Dindy’s home in Croydon, on Sunday, 24 November, 3:00-6:00 p.m. Dindy
writes, “The day was unusually cold for late spring, and some people rang to
say the current flu virus had put them out of action, but we still had a warm
and friendly gathering with those who came. We played the CD right through,
reading some of the poetry, all interspersed with good things to eat and drink;
although wine was supplied, I have NEVER in my life made so many cups of tea at
such a function!! I think the weather must have got into everyone’s bones!”

Holly May Caldwell, one of the attendees, remarked of the music, “A stunning
work, very much enjoyed by all — congratulations to all involved.” Dindy adds, “3MBS FM Radio presenter Tony Thomas let
me know that he had received the CD I posted, and he will certainly be
broadcasting it, so that was good news too.” So, stay tuned Australia, for
more of “I am in need of music”!

Dindy also noted that she had a mini-art exhibition in her hall
and library, featuring
works by Janice McBride, Graham Willoughby, Levantai, Brigid Burke, Neil McLeod
and Judi Woodward — all Australian artists with well-established careers.

Thank you Dindy, and all your friends, for being so
steadfastly and enthusiastically supportive of this project.
