trials, tribulations and triumphs of an Australian storyteller 'I acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and traditional owners of the lands on which I live and work, especially the Yugara and Turrbal people. I am inspired by the way in which storytelling is bound in country, culture and language.' 'I commit to work together in the current Climate Crisis to maintain the Australian environment on which we are all dependent.'

The Sorcerers Apprentice on 10" 78RPM
Hey, Baby Boomer storytellers, want some childhood nostalgia? Go to http://www.kiddierecords.com and there you will find downloadable copies of those records parents used to buy their kids. I've noticed quite a few I recognise so I must have scored with Christmas or birthday presents a number of times.
'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' was published and sold as a 10" 78RPM album with Milton Cross as the narrator. I remember loving and hating it as a kid in front of the beautiful old radiogram. It could be a bit scary if you were listening on your own in the half dark.
Paul Gallico's 'Snow Goose' was another I recognise. The sound quality is very familiar although I'm sure ours got progressively scratchier with time.
Could make a quite interesting retro-audio resource for teaching etc.
