How fortunate we are here to have such interesting guests in this country. Thankyou to all involved in bringing these fascinating musicians over to inspire us. Furthermore, through doing this, Australia is signalling to the wider world that there are many educated, cultured people here with minds on far more admirable pursuits than pop 'music', reality TV, beer, 'barbies' and 'footy'!
