G'Day Everybody,
We are having such a great time, its absolutely beautiful here. It is Autumn so Jeans and sweat shirts in the evenings and Tees daytime. Bright and sunny with a cool breeze.
Have seen a harbor that Channelside will eventually become but here its on a larger scale. Monday visited the Harbor and Aquairium, yesterday an all day bus tour to the Blue Mountains and National Park. WOW!
On the way back into Sydney part of the tour was a wildlife park called Featherdale. One of the coolest animal parks Ive ever been to with Emus,Wallabees and Roos running around loose and coming up in a curious way. Also reptiles including Crocs(caged)and many, many indigenous birds.Oh yeah and Becky says Dingos(Canus Lupus)too.
Zoo today and a Bridge climb that will take us hudreds of feet above the Harbor. I hope Becky doesnt throw me off. We have allot to do and see.
Thursday the songwriters come out here in the city so I have some local spots already scouted out and will spread the JPF hand of International community.
Before coming over I started communication with Wirdaz on the Australia message board. He and his wife have invited us up to visit as their nearest town of Denman is hosting a wine, cheese and Jazz festival on Saturday. We will rent a car and attempt to drive on the left side of the road about 160 miles over unfamiliar terrain. He may be able to introduce me to a representative of the ABC "Austailian Broadcasting Company" who generally covers this annual event. I am directing folks I meet to WWW.jpfolks.com as well as www.aandrproductions.com so if you don't have a profile up on A and R site yet see me when I get back and we will take care of that. I have a GO from WMNF to invite Aussie artists to network with Tampa also so part of my musical mission is to set up a type of cooperative between out two cities for indie airplay. Wish me luck.
Thats all for now, we are off to breakfast then out exploring.
Keep Strummin' Al
