Song Writing Pairs

Tonight on "A Mixed Bag with Chris B", our theme was "Song Writing Pairings".  We included fantastic song writing teams such as Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller, Simon and Garfunkel, Elton John and Bernie Taupin, and Gerry Goffin and Carol King.  We also heard a snippet from an earlier interview with Daniel Champagne, where he talks about organising a couple of duets with his friend Maggie Rutjens, for his latest album fault lines.  The link is further down in our playlist for you to click on.  It's a little interview snippet, so not very long.

Also, if you have Parkinson's Disease, or a friend of family member with Parkinson's disease, Parkinson's NSW will be holding an information session in Bega on Monday 7th August, 2017.  Here is the link to the FaceBook page for further information:-
