Surfing
Last night on a Mixed Bag with Chris B, on 93.7 Edge FM in the Bega Valley, our theme was surfing. We heard songs by the Beach Boys, the Atlantics, the Surfaris, and lots of songs from the soundtrack to Morning of the Earth and music from Tim Gaze and Peter Howe. All these songs brought back memories of family surfing trips along the North Coast of New South Wales to places like Seal Rocks, Angourie, Crescent Head, Point Plumber and Byron Bay.
To listen to our interview with local musician, Peter Howe, who told us how he was involved in making some music for the Morning of the Earth soundtrack, please click on the link below.
Next week, our theme for A Mixed Bag will be "working", so if you live in the Bega Valley, tune in between 6.00 pm and 8.00 pm next Tuesday evening on 93.7 Edge FM.

Motorbikes and Toys
Tonight on a Mixed Bag with Chris B, we talked about motorbikes and played songs about toys. Why, you may well ask?
This Saturday, 7th December, the Sapphire Coast branch of the Ulysses Club will be holding a Toy Run, starting in Bemboka, and finishing up in Littleton Gardens in Bega.
The funds raised, and the toys collected along the way will be distributed to families in need throughout the Bega Valley Shire community. All proceeds will be donated to Vinnies and distributed evenly to families in need across the three centres (Bega, Merimbula and Eden).
To find out more about the upcoming Toy Run, click on the link below and you can hear an interview with James Murray, editor of the Ulysses Club newsletter, "All Torque". Rumour has it that Santa may be making an appearance, and I am trying to pluck up the courage to jump on one of the motorbikes as a pillion passenger! Only problem is I don't have a leather jacket, or a pair of riding boots!!
If you would like more information or if you would like to make a donation prior to the day of the Toy Run, please contact George Parker on 6493 2578 or mobile telephone number 0409 464 836.

The end of Australian music month
Tonight on A Mixed Bag with Chris B we had an all Australian music show with lots of AC/DC. To break up that onslaught of loud rock, we heard a few songs by local musicians like Kim Churchill, The Blue Ruins and a song by The Swamp Stomper's called Yin and Yang. It was recorded live in the 93.7 Edge FM studio. To listen you can click on the link below.

We also heard a track from Kate Ceberano and Deborah Conway, an instrumental from Midnight Oil, and my favourite Jebediah song, Harpoon. Not sure what our theme on A Mixed Bag with Chris B will be next week. Will keep you posted.

The Swamp Stompers
Tonight on a Mixed Bag we were very lucky to have been joined by The Swamp Stompers and it was great to hear them play live in the studio. Three very talented young musicians make up the Stomp Swampers - Corey Legge, Mitch Broadhead and newest recruit to the band, Luke Ligtenberg. All three members have been studying music at Southern Cross University in Lismore and playing their dirty slide guitar blues with heavy grooves up and down the coast.
I recorded a song called Yin and Yang live in the studio. I'll put it up on the blog soon, so stay tuned.

November is Australian Music Month. Corey Legge and the Swamp Stompers on next Tuesday night!
Last night on "A Mixed Bag with Chris B" on 93.7 Edge FM in the Bega Valley, our theme was Australian music because November is Australian Music Month.
There are so many genres of Australian music that it was hard to know what to play. We heard "The Wild One" from the Wild One himself, Johnny O'Keefe, John English with his medley of live songs from the Concert of the Decade in 1979, a song from hip-hop outfit Hilltop Hoods, and that Radio Birdman anthem with a punch to the air and a yeah-heh-hup, New Race, with a whole lot of other Aussie favourites in between.
Next Tuesday night Corey Legge and some or all of his band The Swamp Stompers will join us live in the studio for some dirty slide blues guitar with heavy grooves. I'll keep you posted as to which members of the band will be joining us for the show. Corey Legge (looking rather pensive) is pictured below.
Tune into 93.7 Edge FM next Tuesday night between 6.00 pm and 8.00 pm if you live in the Bega Valley.
