Goodies

I feel I have to post on some goodies that have arrived

First, Hal Leonard Publishing, or (more accurately) AMPD and Sasha Music Publishing sent me this fantastic little collection of ukulele songbooks. A few ukulele people from around Australia were canvassed earlier in the year about what was important in a uke book, and what songs we liked and so on. We obliged with the market research, we got a stack of uke books for nowt. Noice.

There's

EZ Method Ukulele Songbook
EZ Method Ukulele & Ukulele Banjo
The Amazing Ukulele Songbook (AU & NZ)
The More Amazing Ukulele Songbook
The Amazing Ukulele 4-chord Songbook
The Amazing Ukulele 3-chord Songbook

They're now available in music shops near you. Tell them I sent you.

Secondly, I picked up some goodies at Sydney Town Hall today. Every so often, the library service has a clear-out and they give away a load of books from Sydney libraries. I picked up, for free,

America's Most Hated Woman: The Life and Gruesome Death of Madalyn Murray O'Hair
The Feynman Lectures on Physics II and III
The Coming Plague
Undue Risk: Secret State Experiments on Humans

Some of the titles are sensationalist, obviously, but the subject matter I'm sure will be fascinating, but the real reason I post this is because the giveaway is on tomorrow as well (9th Dec 2011), at Town Hall House, and you can grab more free books and give me a shout for a coffee at the same time. Please do. I'm in the building, and the coffee is good. See you there.

Meryl Dorey on Stanislaw Burzynski

Here's Meryl Dorey in 2009 ~~herping~~ talking about testing of medical interventions.

And here's Meryl Dorey ~~fellating~~ lauding Doctor Stanislaw Burzynski, head of a clinic whose product has never passed a Phase III trial (certainly not a double-blind crossover) and which has only been successfully tested by Burzynski.
