I don't have a full audio version of my memoir (Evergreen etc.) but thanks to Robyn Williams and @RadioNational Science Show, you can hear me attempt the first few pages. It's a ripping yarn. 🙂.

For completeness, you know who whiping up a storm
Back at The Tote, with Antifade band The Judges, prelude to Tropical F--- Storm. Is it too early to say I like their early stuff more, for a 12 or so month old band? Might have been the mixing. Still, always fun, as will be TFS.

Yet, when this is examined under the magic tube, a crystal cylinder, closely set with sparkling emeralds, is revealed.". Breckenfeld (1885) The life history of Vaucheria. Am. Mon. microsc. J. 6, p. 6. Besotted - him and me. 2/2.
