Thanks Sean - good to hear from you!
Yes we're trawling through the archives and will get as much content up as it comes to hand....
Glad you're enjoying the website!

My hope is that this great website can be expanded to include some historical Australian jazz footage which is sorely missed on the web .

Thankfulness was composed by Mark Lau. You could most likely contact him through his website at:
http://www.marklau.org/
Probably worth doing the transcription anyway though ... and the link will remain up on our site indefinitely.
Let us know how you go!
"Thankfulness" does it for me. any way of getting the chart, or saving the file to my desktop? otherwise ill work it out by ear.... while the link is still up...

I had heard Mike Nock's work beofore and its enjoyable to see him "in the flesh". Mark Lau looks like a promising talent also.
