About me
If you would like to know more about me personally, there are a number of interviews and articles:
1. Hacked about , but containing some basic truths is the Wikipedia article—not written by me—on Dally Messenger III.
2. On the celebrancy front, this interview by Rachel Cohn topped her chart on “The Spirit of Things” in a 6-month period.
3. More comprehensive, covering my grandfather, the Great Dally, Dance Australia magazine, Lionel Murphy, and celebrancy, is this interview by Sam Newman and Don Scott.
4. Good overview of my life by Jenny Wills in the Yarra’s Edge Magazine.
5. Good account of my celebrant history by Yvonne Werner.


Thanks and tributes regarding Dance Australia Magazine, which greatly chuffed and cheered me at the time and since, came from:
Keith Bain
Noel Pelly
Pamela Ruskin
Vicki Fairfax
