001 hagstrom legend returns

The Return of The Legend

Hagstrom guitars are legendary among guitarists because of playability, information pills beauty, tone and durability. Since 1958, Hagstrom has been combining legendary design with premium materials, unique hardware, and innovative manufacturing techniques to create these magnificent guitars.

ZAPPAPLAYSZAPPAThe first Hagstrom Deluxe solid body guitars featured a distinctive sparkle and pearloid celluloid finish, an ingenious repurposing of materials previously used in their accordion production line. Over the years, Hagstrom expanded their line-up to include hollow body guitars like the Viking and the Jimmy, electric basses including the legendary 8 string, and Hagstrom’s flagship models, the Swede and the Super Swede. When Hagstrom ceased production in 1983, the guitars became instant collectors’ items, and the love and respect for these fine instruments continues to be celebrated by musicians around the world.

27 years later Hagstrom guitars are once again in production and a whole new generation of guitarist are rediscovering these wonderful guitars.

Hagstrom guitars boast the original glorious Hagstrom sound and distinctive style, and they are built to the same stringent quality standards. All materials and hardware are sourced from the world’s finest suppliers, and technological advancements including the patented H-Expander Truss Rod and exclusive Resinator Fretboard guarantee that these are the finest value for money guitars on the market.

Artists at the top of their game in all genres rely on Hagstrom guitars to deliver their platinum sound tp sold-out audiences every night. And, Hagstrom comes from a long legacy of some of the world’s greatest artists including Elvis Presley, Frank Zappa, Bjorn Ulveus (ABBA), Bryan Ferry (Roxy Music), David Bowie, ZZ Top, Jimi Hendrix and Noel Redding, Steve hackett and Mike Rutherford (Genesis), the Beatles, Kurt Cobain, Neil Young, Joe Satriani, Ace Frehley, and thousands more!

Update SMCS CHOIR FESTIVAL Saturday September 11, 2010

smcs logoForwarded from Phil Horneman

Dear Choir Festival Participant, infection

Thank you for your interest in the Choir Festival, see
which is approaching
fast. I am writing to you to update some aspects for the day’s organization.

The main change to the plans for the day is a change of venue. The new venue is St Pauls Anglican Church Hall, ambulance
located in Commissioner St Cooma. This street is parallel to the main road through the centre of town. Driving from Canberra, turn left at the second roundabout, take the first turn right, St. Paul’s is at the crest of the hill.

It is well set up for a Choir event, and is located close to shops so it will be easy to access food etc.

All other plans remain the same. Rodney Clancy will conduct one large group, which presently looks like being between 60-90 people.

Participating Choirs and singing groups are busy learning the selected pieces. Being familiar with the charts will help everyone enjoy the experience on the day. If you need help with this, please email or phone me.

Tea, coffee, fruit drinks, biscuits will be available throughout the day, participants will need to make arrangements for lunch etc. So, bring your own food/drink if you like, or buy it at one of many nearby food outlets. Details will be available on the day, as to where to find shops.

The cost for attending is $10, payable on arrival. Could I also ask singers to bring the music with them that have been used in rehearsal. Also could Choir directors email me a list of expected numbers and voice types and let me know if more vocal charts are needed.

Rodney has asked me to let you know that women who are comfortable singing the tenor parts, even if only in some of the songs, are encouraged to do so. This will help the overall balance of the combined choir.

The program and music list is as follows:

PROGRAM

9.30am Welcome to participants

10.00am Rehearsal No. 1 (2 hours)

12.00p Lunch Break (1 hour)

1.00pm Rehearsal No.2 (1 hour)

2.00pm Break (30 mins)

2.30pm Rehearsal No. 3 ( 1 hour)

3.30pm Break (30 mins)

4.00pm Concert (Till 5.00 or 5.15)

Rodney is concerned to conserve singers voices and rest breaks are important to achieve this. These breaks will provide opportunities to mingle and socialize.

The music selected for performance is as follows, all 4 part harmony.

  1. Razzle Dazzle ‘em from Chicargo the musical.

  2. Dies Irae – WA Mozart.

  3. The Barcarolle (Night of Stars) Offenbach.

  4. Pemulwuy – By Australian composer Paul Jarman.

  5. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.

  6. Sure on this shining light S Barber

  7. Ave Verum – Mozart

Choirs or singing groups are invited to prepare two pieces each to perform at the concert, if they wish. These will be in addition to the combined choir items.

The SMCS Choir Festival is a great opportunity for people who don’t belong to a choir to enjoy singing as part of a large group. The Festival also gives established Choirs a chance to see & hear other choir groups and share their talents and experience. As this festival is a significant regional music event, I will be inviting the Head of the A.N.W. School of Music, Adrian Walter, or his representative to attend, ore on this at a later date. I look forward to meeting you on September 11 in Cooma.

Regards

“Firelight Guitar Quartet” at Inspiration Bollywood

13 August 2010

13 August 2010

Esa Janara, look Raju Karia, this Leslie and myself played at a wonderful charity night at the Hellenic Club, tuberculosis ACT last Friday Night. Our newly formed classical guitar quartet is now called “Firelight Guitar Quartet”. The evening, “Inspiration Bollywood” was organized by a foundation called “1 by One”. The purpose of the evening was to raise funds for a girl’s school in Salar, a town near Kolkata, India.

The “Firelight Guitar Quartet” was the warm-up act for the evening. We played a twenty minute bracket of Spainish and Latin American music. I was a little unsure how our music would fit with the “Bollywood” theme, but we were very warmly received and it ended up being a great night. Our bracket was followed by an auction and then the all-singing, all-dancing Bollywood Extravaganza.

If you would like to find out more about this worthy cause, here’s a link to their site:  http://1byone.org/index.php
