Your Editor is exhausted after Noel McInness' dissertation. It's not often we have an erudite speaker who not only knows who Willie The Lion Smith was, but can explain what Lester Young meant when he lowered his sax and asked for "a bit more tickety-boom!"
Australian Jazz Museum
What a great idea - a visit to the Australian Jazz Museum on 12th March! Easily, much better than no meeting . . . .
We had fun last time we visited, and Noel McInness today has inspired us to go again.
You might even be inspired to accept Noel’s challenge, and learn how to play a musical instrument!

We append a map, just in case anybody gets lost . . . No, you couldn’t possibly get lost, could you? It’s just across the road from The Melbourne School of Theology.
The Fair Trade and Gift Shop
This is a specialist Op Shop located in Melbourne's Inner East that has a variety of Gifts and Fair Trade goods. 100% of profits raised from the sale of our goods will assist and help the many charities and causes we support that make lasting change in the lives of disadvantaged people. 100% of profits raised go to the charities and causes we support.
The aim is to support both DIK (Donations in Kind) store that recycles equipment and goods and sends useful items overseas and to disadvantaged communities in Australia. This is to also support our many charities and causes, while continuing to support Rotary Fair Trade enterprises in East Timor, Nepal and Laos.
We provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through our fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders.
Jill Forsyth today revealed that they need more volunteers, apart from David Pisterman:
We are looking for a volunteer who could spare two or three hours per week either to come to the shop or work from home. The task would involve posting items for sale onto our online shop https://fairtradeandgiftshop.com./ or market place
Training supplied, and you will be well supported in this interesting role to help raise money for Rotary and our community.
Their extensive collection of books, not just fiction and non fiction but beautiful cookbooks and gardening and many other coffee table travel etc books, need to be listed onto the shop’s website.
If you can give us 3 - 4 hours a week we would be delighted to train and help you to become a member of our wonderful group of volunteers.
Please give David Pisterman 0418 345 607 or Jill Forsyth 0412 171 353 a call.

Can anyone tell us what Donald Trump is saying un this photo with Lorraine McInness?
My best guess is “This one’s a keeper!”
Any other suggestions?
