Stars theme

Our theme tonight on A Mixed Bag with Chris B (on 93.7 Edge FM in the Bega Valley) was "Stars".  I was very inspired by a beautiful starry sky on a recent morning walk.

This Saturday night at Mumbulla Hall in Bega, Daniel Champagne will be performing, as part of his "Fault Lines" tour.  Daniel generously granted me a telephone interview, and we played some of his wonderful songs with the word "Stars" in the title, and other songs relating to the night sky.

On Saturday, I paid a visit to Merimbula to check out the 37th Merimbula Jazz Festival.  The weather was perfect and I particularly enjoyed some of the big bands at Club Sapphire.  Congratulations to the Merimbula Jazz Festival Committee for all their hard work towards bringing us another great festival.
