MUSIC |
Dr. Baz at MySpace
Dr. Baz has one too - an onerous obligation making all those friends when your agoraphobic! That's why I've only got 4 (and growing fast!) Am I the only one who hates MySpace? But I had fun doing it, anyway. So check it out - There's a lot of fun photos up there now of all my various current projects and you can hear some of my recent music tracks.
Snake Oil
Patent Medicine for all your ailments. Magical in its effects. Original Australian guitar & vocal duo featuring Dr. Baz & Hinch.
Free Radical Music
My current cover-band project - a fun gig, awesome vocal harmony sound!
Slim Pickens 'n' Doctor Baz
The home of good-time cajun cowboy blues. Official web-site with photos, music samples, gig blog and highlights.
Poco Loco
A site celebrating the exciting music of the spanish nylon string guitar. Features articles on styles & traditions, scales and techniques, and the great new flamenco and gypsy guitarists. Also homesite of Australian latin/flamenco guitar & vocal trio the same name.
The Purple Drippers
The Purple Drippers don't take themselves too seriously. Lock up your dancing shoes when 'The Purple Drippers' take to the stage to re-create the uptempo style of rock'n'roll dance music created by great artists such as Eddie Cochran, Elvis Presley and Carl Perkins. Their song list is guaranteed to give any audience tunes they can dance to, relax with and get a bit of a laugh. 'The Purple Drippers' are a living archive of classic hidden treasures from the rockabilly scene here in Australia and overseas.
Doc Span Blues
A very cool web-site I made for my colleague - the vocalist, songwriter, and harmonica specialist Doc Span. Doc has jammed with "Slim Pickens & Dr. Baz" at 'Blues on Broadbeach' & 'East Coast Blues Fest'.

NEW AGE |
Earth Sound Temple
There are very few places built by man with the sole purpose to inspire and uplift, to quiet and make still, that are free of concomitant religious dogma. The Earth Sound Temple is designed to be such a place.
Take Your Space Now
A journey into the healing energies of colour and sound - an animated fantasy on DVD, based on the art of Queensland based oil-painter Duane Radford. A sublime audio visual experience.
Rainmakers Ozeania
An association dedicated to using available technologies to solve the climate change and energy crises, using wave power for renewable energy and desalination.
The Monalisa Project
One woman's pledge to support a 10 year old Indian orphan, Monalisa, through her childhood has blossomed into a much larger project to build an orphanage and school in the northern desert region of India. You can help. Photos and correspondence. Site donated by Inner Spring Media.

A site dedicated to issues surrounding the hemp plant or cannabis sativa, from an Australian perspective. Did you know that one of the reasons the British colonised the Great Southern Land was to grow hemp?

Cannabis and health.
Hemp and ecology.
SNARG
