Rick Wakeman and his farewell tour.

As a session musician for David Bowie, Cat Stevens, Elton John, and Black Sabbath, a prolific solo artist and member of Yes, Wakeman has influenced generations of artists.

According to the SMH, iiNet releases VOIP service. SOunds like I need to look at it… I am thinking about changing ISP anyway…

Finally, in the SMH there is a notice saying that George and Esther SZEKERES died together in peaceful circumstances at Wynwood Nursing Home, Adelaide, on Sunday, August 28, 2005, at 6.15 a.m. and 6.45 a.m. They had been married 66 years. George worked at the Uni of NSW in the maths department from 1963 to 2004… He was born in 1911, but I am not sure when his wife was born. According to reports, George was one of Australia’s great mathematicians.
