Gemstones theme 28/11/2012

Wednesday 28/11/12 was our gemstones theme on a Mixed Bag, and our special guest for the evening was local Bega Valley resident, Doug Batty, who is addicted to cutting and polishing opals!
It's not just a hobby for Doug anymore! He is "bitten, and smitten".
Doug was kind enough to join us live in the studio to talk about his addiction, and he is certainly extremely knowledgeable about the subject of gemstones!!
Here is a link to part of the interview with Doug.
  
.....and here is a photo of some of his gorgeous stones.
The playlist for our gemstones theme was:-
  • Ruby (don't take your guns to town) - Kenny Rogers
  • Ruby Tuesday - The Rolling Stones
  • Rhinestone Cowboy - Glen Campbell
  • Rubystone - David Ross MacDonald
  • Constant in Opal - The Church
  • She's a Diamond - Opal
  • Diamonds on the inside - Ben Harper
  • Lucy in the sky with Diamonds - The Beatles
  • Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch - The Sapphires
  • Diamonds are a girl's best friend - Marilyn Monroe
  • Some days are diamonds (some days are stones) - John Denver 
Next Wednesday night, 5/12/12, our theme will be caring, so I'm looking for songs with the word "care", or "caring" in the title.  If you have any ideas, please feel free to leave a comment!  Thanks.
