Book: Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats (Eliot, 1939)

Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats.

Review
Considering the amount of reading I am doing for study at the moment this little book has been an oasis for a thirsty mind. Okay, I'm an ailurophile - although I must admit I've not seen the stage show that is supposed to be based on the book.

The Amp Book (Brosnac, 1983)

The Amp Book : An Introductory Guide to Tube Amplifiers

Brosnac Donald. 1983. The Amp Book : An Introductory Guide to Tube Amplifiers. Ojai Calif: D.B. Music.

ISBN 0942760018, 0933224052, 9780942760019, 9780933224056

Review
Busy, busy, busy with study again so the ever-growing pile of books has been set aside while I work my way through an Early Childhood Education and Care course.
Judging by the sticker on the cover this was another title I purchased from Chris Voce, original owner of Musical Repair and Trading Company.
The author, Donald Brosnac, already had a number of guitar titles under his quill, begining with The steel string guitar : its construction, origin and design (1973). While The Amp Book was first published in 1983, I'd say I bought my copy around late 1987 through 1988; when I had returned from overseas and became gainfully employed at the ABC again.
So the book pre-dates the Internet by at least 10 years. It is the missing link between Jack Darr's Electric guitar amplifier handbook and the fan-boy picture books that followed that were aimed at the musician rather than the technician.
The companies and their amp models covered in the scant 64 pages would not have been as easy to research in the years leading up to publishing. Brosnac's best references would have been either to have worked or have impeccable sources in the music industry; or sending letters to companies hoping for an informative reply.
When the book was published the web was still many years away; and the iPhone 25 years in the future. Some of the text may be industry myth; the short section on amplifier classes is, unfortunately, downright misleading. However, a quick internet search should clear things up. Brosnac covers 22 USA and British companies; many have since been sold or acquired by other companies (e.g. Mesa Boogie is now owned by Gibson), or they have ceased to trade, or now trade in name only.
So much has changed. But some things remain the same, and that includes the classic valve (tube) guitar amps mentioned in this book. So many amps, so little time...

Book: Sound System Engineering (D & C Davis, 1975)

Sound System Engineering

Davis Don and Carolyn Davis. 1975. Sound System Engineering First ed. Indianapolis: H.W. Sams.
ISBN 9780672211560, 0672211564

Review
I bought this book in the late 1970s, before I learned to drive; for a dozen of what it cost I could have bought a very cheap second-hand car! I was very interested in music and sound at that age and early digital sound was still some ten years away.
This book was a great reference on the best in contemporary analogue live sound art, science, and mechanics. I added the mechanics part because among the appendices at the rear of the book are invaluable photo-essays on maintenance and repair of sound equipment. This aspect is often overlooked in many books on event sound system's operation.
The book is a classic and is still very relavent in today's disposable electronics society. There is still much to learn in its pages and it was one of the best investments I made in my early library of sound.

Text Review (Other reading of related texts)
At the time I bought this book most knowledge about running large Public Address Systems at rock and roll events was either learned on the job, or through magazine articles. Many good works have followed since; but I believe this book set the prime standard for what has followed.

Book: Sound of the Beast (Christe, 2004).

Sound of the Beast : The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal

Christe, Ian. 2004. Sound of the Beast : The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal. 1st pbk. ed. New York: HarperCollins.
ISBN 9780380811274, 0380811278

Review
A very enjoyable book: good editorial selection at HarperCollins. I may not be an avid collector of Heavy Metal music (Country, Blues and Boogie are more my style!) but I do enjoy reading books about other genres from the last 100 years or so.
Christe acknowledges Black Sabbath as the foundation of Heavy Metal (definitely not Steeley Dan!); the writes the rest of the book around Metallica. Given the pages devoted in the rest of the book to Metallica (an American band), I could nominate Christe as a Metallica fanboy. However, I acknowledge that Metallica were probably the band responsible for bringing Heavy Metal to the largest audience, based in the USA.
Most chapters contain text boxes for defining sub-genres and giving a discography of examples. There is a two-page timeline graphic at the beginning of the book; and the index has been well-researched. Given time, I could see myself re-reading this in a few years as a refresher.

Book: Outback Songman (Ted Egan, 2019)

Outback Songman: My Life.

Egan Ted. 2019. Outback Songman : My Life. Sydney N.S.W: Allen & Unwin.
ISBN 9781760529871, 1760529877

Review
The first book I borrowed from the Maribyrnong Library when I joined in 2023... Ted Egan is a great story-teller through his books and music: so this book is no exception. I enjoyed reading it in the almost record time of a just few more days than a long weekend. There were quite a few pink sticky notes inserted, as I learned a lot from the master:
- For instance: Egan's definition of Yolngu seems at odds with the popularised version on Wikipedia. (p86) Yolgnu - not a tribe or clan, it's more like 'we belong here'...
- His bucket list wish of going to Ireland and performing Amhrán na bhFiann in a pub, in Gaelic. (p.119)
- His growing respect for Australian Folk Music festival performers, organisers and promoters, including: Roger Montgomery and Dr Jamie McKew (Geelong and Port Fairy, Victoria; p.305); and historians Peter Ellis and Shirley Andrews (p.307)
- Kelly Dixon is the author of one of my favourite Australian Songs: Leave him in the longyard. (p.231)
- His love of two songs with strong roots in New Zealand (p.160):
Pokarekare Ana - rendition
Po Atarau - details
- Egan's respect for Russel Ward's book The Australian Legend . (p.147)
- Egan's thoughts on the consumption of alcohol (p.295): Alcohol must promote conviviality - otherwise, give it a miss...
Thanks to my mate Ferg Pedley for bringing Ted Egan's signing and songs to my attention, some 45 years ago (c1975).

Book: AC/DC (Murray & Durieux, 2006).

AC/DC Maximum Rock and Roll

Engleheart Murray and Arnaud Durieux. 2006. AC/DC Maximum Rock and Roll. Pymble N.S.W: HarperCollins.
ISBN 9780732283834, 0732283833

Review
This book was a good follow-up to the George Young bio Friday on my Mind that I wrote about last month. It is a great read. There are some facts. There is some trivia. There is some hearsay. And there is some bullshit so thick on some pages that I'm suprised that they weren't stuck together fast...
Having said that, I enjoyed it greatly and found it hard to put down, even when work-related activities took precedence. The timeline format was reasonably good; although toward the finish it jumped across years and wasn't always clear about what year was being referred to (take a hint from the photo that accompanied the start of each chapter).

Book: Friday on My Mind (Apter, 2020)

Friday on My Mind : The Life of George Young

Apter Jeff. 2020. Friday on My Mind : The Life of George Young. Sydney: Allen & Unwin
ISBN 9780959667547

Review
I really enjoyed reading this book: so much so, that I completed the 284 pages of text in just over a week. Johannes van den Berg and George Young morphed from the Easybeats into Vanda and Young: one of the greatest Australian songwriting teams and producers for the Alberts roster of artists.
There is a well researched discography toward the end of the book: it makes a lot more sense once the book is read. The discography is followed by a comprehensive Suggested Bibliography: made up, in many cases, of print articles from newspapers and magazines. The one thing the book lacks is an index, as this text is a great source for future researchers of Australian popular music; for instance the suggested subject list on Worldcat includes: AC/DC (Musical group); Australia; Biographies; Biography; Criticism, interpretation, etc; Friendship; Guitaristes Australie Biographies; Guitarists Australia Biography; Musicians; Musiciens rock Australie Biographies; Producteurs d'enregistrements sonores Australie Biographies; Rock music; Rock musicians; Rock musicians Australia Biography; Sound recording executives and producers; Sound recording executives and producers Australia Biography; Vanda, Harry; Young, George, 1946-2017; Young, George, 1946-2017 Friends and associates...

Text Review (Other reading of related texts)
Vanda and Young : The Official Songbook: an interesting selection of twenty songs performed by eight artists (see table of contents, below). It includes many illustrations of the performing artists, album covers, or contemporary sheet music; it is let down a little, however, by not adding any captions to the illustrations.

Book: Secrets Silences and Sources (Couchman, (Ed.), 2005)

Secrets Silences and Sources : Five Chinese-Australian Family Histories.

Couchman, Sophie (Ed.). 2005. Secrets Silences and Sources : Five Chinese-Australian Family Histories. Bundoora VIC: Asian Studies Program La Trobe University.
ISBN 9781920948436, 1920948430

Review
This title appeared at a thrift store at a throwaway price. There are five stories by five authors and each contributes interesting and thought provoking experiences that I'm glad I took the time to read. I'm unsure of what to do with this book as there are probably a number of libraries that should hold a copy; but I don't see them listed on Worldcat.
Contents
p03 Chinese-Australian history vs huaqiao history: Chinese in north Queensland Kevin Wong Hoy
p17 Unfolding the silence: James Lee Wah (1832 - 1909) Chinese goldfields miner and Anglican missionary Chris Lee
p31 The wives of Hin Yung and Ah Whay: A goldfields story in the making Robyn Ansell
p41 History, heritage and identity James Twycross
p47 Tong family networks revealed through the camera's lens Sophia Couchman

Text review (reading of related texts)
While I have been reading music related, producer notes and musician biographies recently, these books are not family histories written in the style of Secrets Silences and Sources.

Book: High Voltage Rock 'n' Roll (Eliezer, 2007).

High Voltage Rock 'n' Roll

Eliezer Christie. 2007. High Voltage Rock 'n' Roll. London New York: Omnibus Press ; Exclusive distributor for Australia and New Zealand Macmillan Distribution Services.
ISBN 9781921029264, 1921029269

Review
This is the book I should have read before Glenn Wheatley's Facing the Music (2010). Each chapter is divided into short sections, with the final section being a Q&A with the subject. It is a bit of a fanboy book: you won't find anyone who is highly critical of any of the subjects. But that is not always a problem in a compact format such as this book. Probably the chapter on Ian Meldrum was my favourite, as I learned how a two week stayover at singer Ronnie Burns parents' house turned into a nine-year lodging!
