We just missed the Woodstock era by a hairsbreadth .... Cliff Richard at the Palace Hotel could hardly be described as a "rock concert" ..... mother refused to allow us to see Elvis when he came to Bulawayo !! and the closest we got to a concert was watching the Drakensberg Boys Choir. But then of course, as innovative as we had to be, we used to make our own rock concert type entertainment, like "sessions" with Ots Waygood at the Jewish Guild Hall, or at St Mary's Catholic Church Hall or dancing to the Collection at the Macdonald Club !! It was only when I married HeeHoo that real live Rock Concerts entered our lives..... The first was Bruce Springsteen in Harare in the eighties ... that was an extraordinary experience .... it was at the National sports Centre and it was a glorious occasion. It was not that we led an over protected life I assure you, it was just that no one famous came to visit Rhodesia , as it was then known, due to our strange political leanings. There was a brief period of normalcy in Zimbabwe, between 1980 when Independence was declared, and about 1996 (when the wheels started to fall off the country once again), when we had a number of famous entertainers blessing us with their talents. And it was also not that we had a deprived childhood either, Michael Bullivant has spent every waking hour of his energetic life making sure we have had at least one if not two classical concerts weekly in Bulawayo, and then of course there was the annual Texan Rock Band Concert at the amphitheatre every Trade Fair. !! What more could a healthy well brought up Zimbabwe teenager need in his/her life !! But Bruce was one of the only real rocking jaunts we ever took, and was it my very first Rock Concert experience. The second was when went to see Eric Clapton, again in Harare, again magical. We did go and see the BeeGees at Loftus some years ago but they were so far away that we could only see them with binos, it could have been Tarzan and the Ape Men singing for all we knew .... so that does not really count and although the music was great, the magic atmosphere was lost in the vastness of the stadium. And so Rod Stewart was officially my third Rock Concert, and I was grateful that every Baby Boomer in South Africa had also bought a ticket, as Rock Concerts are generally only for the young they tell me ? However we proved them wrong !!!! Perhaps they should have had a few more St John's ambulance people there with oxygen at various points along the way between the car park and the venue ? A few more "crash carts" could probably have been ordered, as those Baby Boomers gave Rod the Rocker the welcome of his life !! There were some "Antiques" of dotage note there singing along with geriatric vigor. Oh those magic songs of his, "Forever Young" was undoubtedly one of the favourites amongst the senile but surprisingly enough there were loads of youngsters there too !! When the oldest teenager in the business, clad in his wild silver jacket, shook and gyrated for two solid hours, those long skinny legs of his must have been as tired as ours were from rockin' and rollin' in our senile seats, in the augustan aisles, along the wizened walkways .... oh what a night it was, such a night ...... +++++++ RAPHAEL CHITRIN WOULD LIKE TO ADVISE ALL CUSTOMERS THAT TRADEPOWER IN FIFE STREET NOW HAS AN OFFICIAL LICENSE FOR FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRADING.

In the ensuing chaos. one boy broke a rib and suffered serious bruising and another girl broke a wrist. The other children, although very shaken were largely unhurt. We are thankful that the situation, terrible as it was, was not much worse. The Fun Factory wishes both children the speediest of recoveries and send their best wishes to that effect. Apart from the whirlwind incident, the event was a great success, the fashion show was well received, the beauty parade well regarded and the beer was reported to be very cold!. Many thanks to all who attended. ++++++++ CHRISTMAS FAIR 57 SOUTHWAY BURNISIDE SATURDAY 13 DECEMBER 0930 - 1330 WOOLWORTHS XMAS GOODIES GIFT STALLS REFRESHMENTS ON SALE ENTRY FEE R5 PER PERSON.

The programme will also include "Don Juan" in a performance conducted by Sir Georg Solti which will act as a curtain-raiser to the "Orchestra!" series to be shown in the first term 2009. PAB and the Academy - Something for Christmas Wednesday 10 December in Room 25 at 1.10 p.m. Admission by donation In the last lunchtime talk of 2008, Peter Rollason & Michael Bullivant present a choice of Christmas music. PAB and the Academy - Handel's Messiah Friday 12 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m. Admission by donation A performance of Handel's oratorio recorded in the Pieterskerk, Leiden in the Netherlands by the Choir of King's College, Cambridge and the Brandenburg Consort conducted by Stephen Cleobury with soloists Lynne Dawson (soprano), Hillary Summers (alto), John Mark Ainsley (tenor) and Alastair Miles (bass). A Christmas Celebration : Saturday 13 December Robert Sibson Hall at 4.00 p.m. The choir of the New Apostolic Church invite you to a Christmas Celebration, their annual carol concert which will be held at the Zimbabwe Academy of Music for the first time. Come and join them in the singing of Christmas carols and hymns of praise and experience the joy of the festive season. Conducted by Christopher Situmbeko, accompanied by Deon Marcus (organ/piano) , the concert will also feature solos by Pieter Cloete (tenor) and Amanda Cloete (Soprano) and will include many well-known and much loved Christmas Carols. PAB and the Academy - Karajan conducts Richard Strauss Monday 15 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 5.15 p.m. Admission by donation The last of the series features "An Alpine Symphony" which was Strauss's last and longest symphonic poem. On one level it is a fifty-minute depiction of the ascent of an Alpine peak, at another an allegory of life scored with immense resource for an orchestra of over 120 players. PAB and the Academy - A Christmas Carol: Ballet Friday 19 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 8.00 p.m. "A Christmas Carol", premiered by the Northern Ballet Theatre in 1992 and described as "an opulent mixture of ballet, musical and theatre", is closely based on Dickens' story and has a score by Carl Davis that incorporates many well-known carols. The production toured Britain, meeting with great success, and was even presented in China. The reviews were full of praise with the Guardian writing of "unassailable magic, the heartstrings are truly plucked" whilst the Daily Express recommended the ballet as "perfect Christmas entertainment" . Earlier in the afternoon at 4.00 p.m. there will be two more episodes in the Planet Earth series, Ocean Deep & Saving Species and these will be followed by a supper break at 6.30 p.m., i.e. BEFORE "A Christmas Carol". PAB and the Academy - Puccini: La Boh-me Tuesday 23 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. There will be a supper interval. The Puccini series ends with "La Boh-me" on the 150th anniversary of the composer's birth on 23 December 1858 - and, as the first two acts of the opera are set on Christmas Eve, it is even more appropriate to show it at this time! Based on Zeffirelli's spectacular production from La Scala Milan, this DVD version is conducted by Herbert von Karajan, "second to none as a Puccini interpreter, pointing the great emotional climaxes unerringly", and features "Mirella Freni as a meltingly beautiful Mimi and the underrated Gianni Raimondi as a forthright Rodolfo with a ringing, unrestrained tenor".

IF YOU ARE Offered THIS ITEM PLEASE e mail magskriel@mac. com +++++++++ I have a subject which needs debating upon and a decision to be made, Maggie. It's whether to give way to the Right at all these non-working robots in the country, or whether to treat the junctions as a 4-way stop as in S.A. I would think not many people respect 4-way stops in this country, but it also looks like they don't know their highway codes either, and often won't give way to the right. Could we start a debate somehow, and then get a by-law passed (Simon Spooner, are you there?) What does the general population think? Have a great weekend. Carol. ++++++++++ THANK YOU Max and Chicken would like to take this opportunity to thank Mars International for the professional, caring and speedy attention that was given to their daughter Amber Taila, No words can describe the situation we found ourselves in at that time, and we feel that if it wasn't for Mars the outcome could have been devastating. For all of you who have joined Mars we hope this Ad makes you feel you have made the right choice and for those who are looking for an international Medical Aid, we would highly recommend Mars International. To everyone from Mars who took part in the caring of Amber, from the Mater Dei to Morningside Clinic, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts, it is so wonderful to know there are still people out there like you that care passionately about their work, and hold great regard for human life, no matter what the situation. Keep up the good work, and know that we are so so grateful to you all. Thank you all again from the bottom of our hearts. To everyone out there please please be safe this festive season.

"We are on track and very happy with the way things are going at the moment" said Ray De Vries spokesman for the organisers. "Our initial concerns were water quality, water quantity and the water Hyacinth in the rivers. We are very happy with the water quality at the moment. Compared to last year it has improved dramatically with far fewer paddlers reporting the dreaded Dusi guts whilst training in the River. We also have a pharmaceutical company that has a vaccine against bacteria and cholera as an added precaution. Full details of this will be available on www.dusi.co. za shortly. The Umsumdusi municipality have a special task force to handle any sewer breaks and they will be on full alert during the season as many paddlers come down to KZN to practice for the race. The Department of Water Affairs and Forestry (DWAF) are already working in the River to get rid of the Hyacinth and will carry on through the rest of December and January with crop sprayers and boat crews. Healthy rains have ensured that there is more water in the River system now then there was at the same time last year which bodes well for water releases from Umgeni Water. The organisers are confident that the dam will be 100% come January. "Our security teams have already met with the provincial SAPS and, as usual, we are receiving great support from them" said de Vries. Nearly 1800 paddlers are expected to enter the race which takes place on January 15, 16 and 17 from Pietermaritzburg to Durban with two overnight stops, the first at Dusi Bridge below Cato Ridge and the second at the Msinsi resort at Inanda Dam. The race finishes at Blue Lagoon in Durban. One of the great features of this epic event is the charity angle. Over R600,000 was raised for the SPCA, Starfish and DUCT and the organisers expect this to be a larger figure in 2009. An online auction will be held the top 60 bids received who will start in a special batch each day -- approximately 35 minutes after the seeded batch. Details on the online auction as well as online entries are available at www.dusi.co. za Ends Released by : Ray de Vries Sports Solutions on behalf of Cameron Mackenzie, chairman of the organisers.
