  <div class="message"><p>The music industry needs a union especially Jazz. So many are doing gigs for nothing. I know many who would appreciate $20 so they could at the very least afford to buy a pie and a milkshake on the way home or put some petrol in their car. Some venues still make musician’s pay for food and they receive zero payment. I won’t go into the politics of why this is the case. Whether we need a union or provide some collective muscle to ensure that some musos get some small payment regardless for just  turning up; irrespective of the venues patronage.</p></div>

<div class="post">
  <div class="message"><p style="text-align: center;">Radio National or RN would be one of the best kept secrets in Australia. I have been listening for over 12 years now. Though when I ask many people have you heard of RN? People say Who? What? Who? Then I try to explain that RN is short for Radio National and I can never remember The right word to say that RN is an “Acronym”. And they just glaze their eyes over or we go on to talk about something else. So I would have to conclude changing their name to RN would have to be one of the worst PR exercises in history. Radio National, sure is a contrast to some other propaganda radio station on AM Radio And you don’t have to put up with the commercials either. It’s a pretty informative, educative, balanced and an amazing Radio station; and it's available to everyone if you are looking for something different. Though I’m still hoping Philip Adams takes a call from the average punter one day.</p></div>

<div class="post">
  <div class="message"><p>I wish people would ask more questions than making statements or comments. I’m not talking about prying questions I’m talking about philosophical questions or asking someone how something works or doesn't. Or ask them why they think this or that? Some things are absolute and some conversations can go on for years. And then there is the “You Shoulds,” do this or do that. Maybe make a start by stating to yourself “Today I’m going to try to listen more than I speak”.There seems to be a lot of guessing going these days. Conversation seems to be a dying art though if something does come up for you in that conversation; that's where you need to go or explore. It seems our egos are doing all the talking these days.</p>

<p>Advice to younger singers; fortunately or unfortunately you can’t be who you were yesterday. </p>
<p>The body we live in; has other idea’s. Read Louise Hay regarding this concept. </p>
<p>Your right little toe may not want to have anything to do with you for awhile and has gone on strike. </p>
<p>And as you get older the body rules the roost so check- in and see what it’s up to. </p>
<p>Today, you will be dealing with a very different beast so you better come to terms with it. </p>
<p>Let your energy tell the story of a song as its better to build up from an unsure start than </p>
<p> to come out like a presumptional, expectational train wreck. It will fail every time. </p>
<p>So learn to trust your anxiety, fear and the joy and the profound acceptance of who you are today. </p>
<p>Some days you are just in a different zone not “The Zone”. So, unfortunately you just have to let it </p>
<p>have its way with you. So you must learn to trust it and deal with it. </p></div>
