A long-overdue update
It's nearly three years since I added an article to this blog and yet it continues to get so many hits and garner so many new members. I could not be more grateful to all who have subscribed or otherwise shown interest in this little corner of the internet.
This was started as a means of saving myself from going mad with boredom during 2020 when, like so many other freelance workers, I lost more than a year's work almost overnight. Writing these articles was a joy, in almost every case reworking scripts from my ABC radio program Keys To Music, which was on air from 2003 to 2017.
Being unable to provide sound files for the musical examples (as I would need to pay exorbitant rights fees) I provided links to YouTube videos of the music. This was less than ideal as I assume that in some cases these links in time might go "dead" if the video in question - uploaded by others, of course - was removed. But I hope the text was interesting enough to withstand this, and I loved adding pictures, something I could never do on radio!
I continue to pay to keep the site online and am happy to do so, as it obviously fills a need.
And so to the future. I am now 66 and semi-retired, and post-pandemic my life has developed in ways I could never have foreseen. I now work roughly half-time in one of the most privileged of jobs: as a tour leader for a wonderful Sydney-based company, Hayllar Music Tours. This brilliantly-run company employs me to travel with music lovers within Australia and internationally, giving talks to the group and going with them to some of the finest festivals, opera houses and concert halls in the world. I usually report on my travel activities on my personal Facebook page.
As for this blog I am anticipating that in 2025 I will be able to focus on providing new material here. Some of this will be more reworked radio scripts, some will be specially-written articles. I seem to have a lot of things rattling round in my head these days that I want to share. I might also write in more detail about my travels, too. I'll see how things settle.
In the meantime, thank you again for being part of the Graham's Music family. Happy reading, and happy listening.

It is interesting how much technical information gets discussed during construction meetings, especially when several disciplines are represented. BIM can provide a shared digital reference that helps project participants talk about design elements, locations, changes, and relationships within a project. That makes Building Information Modelling relevant even to professionals who are not responsible for creating models themselves. Understanding the bim course full form can help put the conversations into context when BIM terminology starts appearing in project discussions. The College of Contract Management offers an online BIM course for readers who want to develop a stronger foundation in the subject. This could be particularly useful for professionals who want to feel more comfortable discussing digital construction methods with colleagues and project…
A consistent coffee preparation ratio can help make home brewing more predictable. When the coffee and water quantities change too much, it becomes difficult to understand what caused a difference in taste. Starting with a stable ratio gives you a reference point and makes future adjustments more meaningful and easier to track.
One thing that stood out was the reminder that creative projects often have a life beyond their most active period. A well-maintained archive can continue to educate and inspire long after regular updates slow down, especially when the material reflects years of genuine experience rather than chasing trends. That same long-term mindset applies in many professions, whether preserving educational resources or pursuing structured learning through an advanced diploma in construction management, where knowledge builds over time instead of all at once. Returning with fresh perspectives after new experiences usually makes future content even more meaningful.
This article is exactly what I was looking for. The explanations are clear, concise, and easy to understand. I appreciate that it focuses on useful information rather than unnecessary filler. It's always nice to come across content that's genuinely helpful. Thanks for taking the time to create such a valuable resource for readers.
