Marcie. This story began its creation a good while ago. A brief encounter, but one that leaves a BIG memory. There is also significance in the fact that sometimes you should look, as well as listen.

The Crock Pot and Death Valley is a departure from our usual fast fiction. It is a true story. Maybe not a big one in the scheme of what had happened back in 1969. But it had a big impact on our family. And it all came back to us when watching Quentin Tarantino’s recent move, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.*
We would also like to advise we have a ‘Sister’ podcast dealing with film. Please click on link BreandafromBrisbane.com. If you are interested in film, you just may find our new episode of interest.
Charles Manson and Family: In 1969 Charles Manson’s cult of mostly female followers undertook a frenzied drug-induced killing spree in Hollywood. This included the violent repeated stabbing of the beautiful and heavily pregnant starlet Sharon Tate. The killings were so violent two books and three films have been released about the event. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is the fourth.
The Carousel Club: It is the 1960s in Swinging London, a time of high fashion, rock music and fads. Unknown to their parents a couple of teenage girls are ‘out on the town’ looking for a little excitement. They get it – but it’s a little more than they wanted.
God how I want to leave. Freedom is so close. Just three more steps…
What is Jazz: This is the question jazz keyboard player Clare Hansson asks in a beautiful poem, written for the 50th Australian Jazz Convention in Melbourne, 1995. It was published in a limited edition of The Melting Pot, a small booklet of jazz thoughts by local musicians. Claire’s dedication to her craft was much admired at all the events she attended and her sparkling personality is evident in her poem.
Pride: This little story is true, and provided a good deal of fun for those of us who witnessed it. However, for the couple involved, it provided a good deal of angst. Did they learn by it I wonder? I don’t think so.
