2026 is shaping up to be busier than 2025!
Is there no rest for the wicked? (Rhetorical question!)
My solo concert "CELEBRATING THE SEEKERS 60 Years" is full of fun, songs and audio-visuals,
including my personal tribute to my singing buddy and 'little sister' Judith Durham
MYNONYM
The word I coined to describe a word, phrase or number that can be read forward or backward
while retaining its original meaning.
The current word for this is 'palindrome' which cannot be read forward or backward.
I thought this was illogical.
Hence, I merely changed the 's' in synonym to an 'm' and voila! We have MYNONYM.
My effort has been publicised by wordsmiths David Astle in the Sydney Morning Herald
and Kel Richards in The Spectator
Please assist me, if you'd like to, by spreading the word, so to speak...
Currently I'm putting the finishing touches to some Seekers tracks from the archives.
They will be released as Volume 3 of the series Hidden Treasures in the new year.
I'm happy to say that some of the 1/4 inch tapes I have been carrying round for decades
have stood up remarkably to being dubbed on to hard drive so I can reinvigorate the tracks.
Athol, Bruce and I recently recorded some fresh vocals on some of the archival tracks
at Michael Cristiano's studio, so we're bang up to date and having fun as well.
Also, we're negotiating with the BBC for some recordings we did in their Maida Vale studios
when the group was based in London, 1965 through to 1968.
There will be something for every Seekers fan in this collection, with some wondrous rarities.
Correction re SERENADE.
It's a USB Flash Drive (thumb drive) card with forty nine of my original songs,
plus a hymn I sang at my grandmother's funeral in 1956 before my voice broke
and at my mother's funeral in 2004 (after my voice broke).
All the material covers fifty years of my solo songwriting.
IT'S NOT AVAILABLE ON CD, only on the Flash Drive,
because there's over two and a half hours of music that wouldn't fit on a CD.
SERENADE can only be purchased at my solo concerts or via this email address:
circlemusicproduction@hotmail.com
The lyrics and the back stories for all the songs are here on this site under the "ABOUT" menu.
In addition, because SERENADE is a USB thumb drive, anyone who has purchased it can write to me and get MP3 updates (FREE) of new songs as I complete them. It's a moveable feast, folks.
You can just keep adding to the repertoire on the thumb drive card,
or to whatever device you've downloaded the songs.
Come on Lynn of New Jersey!
You wrote to me via the Contact page but you did not include an email address. Please contact me again via this site because I have the sheet music of DREAM IN YOUR POCKET for you.

There are always challenges in my solo performing, song writing and music production life.
Creating a path as a wandering minstrel after decades of being a founding member of The Seekers has been one of those challenges. I'm standing there with a guitar or ukulele as one who enjoys bringing sunshine into the lives of my audiences
and they seem to appreciate why I love entertaining.
Journeys still abound and beckon.
So much yet to experience.
So much more to share as the wandering continues.
Check out my new offering of fifty songs in the SERENADE page within the ABOUT menu.
Come along and share the journey with me
