Since 2012 is the 30th Anniversary of John’s first book “My Shout”, the Bush Music Club decided to issue a further volume of his work, & Dale Dengate took on the massive job of assembling it. She consulted some of his friends & put together a book the same size as “My Shout”, with 44 pages & over 60 songs & poems in about 2 months! (thanks Dale.) Dale also suggested reprinting “My Shout” in smaller (Mulga Wire) size.
As John won’t be at the National, we can hardly launch it, but we can sell it to his fans!
