There is a lot more history to this book than I have the time to write about at the moment.
Ms Marg Stone was related to my paternal grandmother. She was an advocate for archiving family history and celebrating our ancestors. Margaret (my wife) and I visited her at her home on 10 January 1998, my 48th birthday.
Our family already had a copy of this book we'd obtained when it first came out. She gave me a signed original copy and in it is many handwritten annotations and updates.
I will keep it safe for future generations.

Some background that I will remove in the coming weeks. My father Bill’s childhood homes or there-abouts:
The Long Gully/Ironbark home, known as Hill and Dale.
It's at 92 or 96 Eaglehawk Road Ironbark.
The house at 96 Eaglehawk Road Ironbark is subject to Greater Bendigo Heritage Overlay #490 (painting restrictions)
For #92 go to the street view and there should be a green coloured house behind a big gum tree. It’s about three properties from the British & American Hotel just there in Ironbark. The house at #96 is a little further down the hill (closer to Eaglehawk) and closer to the road. The house was still known as Hill & Dale when we stopped to look at it in the 80s with Bill one trip. It was where Lil moved the kids after they lost Vern as far as I know.

Then there’s the farm at Jarklin. Have a look at the Jarklin East Road, east of the Four Posts Hotel. With these coordinates you may see a small dam (ground tank) on the northern side of the road, a little to the west of the co-ords:
36°16'10.2"S 143°58'48.4"E

-36.269500, 143.980111
Google Maps: PXJJ+52 Jarklin, Victoria

That dam: I think that was the one Bill said was where he used to ride his billy cart. There was a house a little to the east of that I think, also on the northern side of the road. Maybe almost as far east as Wright’s Road. However, it could be the house/s to the west of the small dam (back toward the Four Posts Hotel). But not all the way back to Jarklin. It was tucked behind some trees. If it wasn’t the house he was brought up in, it was the nearest one still standing. Easier to tell if I was back on the ground there; and it doesn’t help that the street view is early or late in the day.

That Clinical Psychiatry book and others. Some of the books I’ve been reading are here: https://m0414533224.blogspot.com/2019/03/book-foundations-of-clinical-psychiatry.html There are many more to add; it’s just some of the more important ones are getting listed first. If you want any let me know. I got a lot uploaded in March 2019 because I’d been meaning to upload the info since January 2019. I add more links and background now. I read ‘em ‘cause if you’re on an exercise bike then you’re a captive audience. I could listen to music but I’d rather stimulate the neurons. Dementia course said 150 minutes of puffing aerobic exercise a week, please; that’s the best antidote they’ve found to ward off dementia. The above will be edited at a later time. 20200130

Book: The Book of Australian country music (Smith 1984)

The Book of Australian Country Music.
Smith, J. (1984). The Book of Australian country music. Gordon, N.S.W: Berghouse Floyd Tuckey Pub. Group.
ISBN 9780959037814 (0959037810; ISSN 0814-3730 - from the book)

Review
The Book of Australian Country Music by James "Jazzer" Smith (1984): it's possibly the primary reference for Buried Country. My copy is listed with ISSN 0814-3730; that indicates the Publisher considered the title part of a series. However, I do not believe subsequent volumes were issued. The book consists of 24 articles in the first 230 pages on topical matters; the following 134 pages are biographies of known artists and include late addenda.
With this entry I will try to give a complete review as my first task of writing in 2020 of this important work. As noted, this book serves as a promotional vehicle as much as a information source. Therefore, the following list of contents includes all artists listed within the book; the listings may not be in alphabetical order, but they should be in the order they appear within the book. Whether or not some of the listings appear in a certain place because they were paid listings is not recorded and not known. Paid listings in such works are not unusual: organisations I have worked for have taken out paid listings in similar works and were encouraged to pay a premium for page placement (left or right page; top or bottom of page). I also hope that the autocorrect did not get to any listing as it tried to do on a couple of occasions!

The Worldcat entry for this book seems to have been corrupted with information about another title. My copy of the book consists of 70 articles based on topics and artists of Australian Country Music contemporary to that period (c1990). In the 190 pages of articles, just three pages are devoted to Aboriginal country artists.
