Your blog is one of the few remaining beacons of sanity among the New Zealand media which otherwise appear intent on suppressing points of view that do not fit with their post modernist neo-Marxist mindset. Their hegemony is almost complete; the new "hate speech" laws are likely to seal the deal. If only New Zealanders had the moral fibre of the people of Hong Kong.Odysseushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745489060434244478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442430064359197279.post-30470519889511399902019-08-20T16:51:45.984+12:002019-08-20T16:51:45.984+12:00Well done for keeping it going all those years.

Good to hear from you Ian, and from you, Donald. <br />Ian, my guitar playing isn't too flash these days, but I did perform three songs last night at the Wellington Bluegrass Society and they didn't run screaming from the room, which I found quite encouraging. Perhaps they were just being polite.Karl du Fresnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05054853925940134404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442430064359197279.post-88386477341901248762019-08-17T11:19:42.596+12:002019-08-17T11:19:42.596+12:00Well done on the million karl.
