For The Record - Wet Willie - 01-17-2018
I know this is a little off topic (and sorry to everybody if this is the wrong place to bring this up)...but I have just written a book!
It's called "For The Record" and looks at the development of Australian Pop Culture. There are unique chapters dedicated to every year from 1964 to 2017. Each chapter looks at Births, Deaths, News Events, Entertainment News, Sport and the Music that became the soundtrack to our lives.
Obviously there are many references to Carltons success over the decades with scores, facts and figures (but it's not entirely a sport book).
The notes and trivia I have compiled is the information I used when producing a radio show on Gold 104 called "My Generation with Jono Coleman" and "Classic 9 At 9" on Triple M and K Rock. For the first time, everything is about to be released.
As we get closer to publication, I'll keep you all in the loop.

Well done Willie, remember listening to My Generation with JC.... as the others have said sounds like a great read and you must have had some fun getting it together.

Yep, sounds good. Looking forward to it.
Thanks WW.

What an achievement to publish a book. Congratulations WW.
Funnily enough it's written in my era. I'm familiar with both radio shows.
I look forward to details about the launch of For The Record. I hope it's a great seller.
I'm always amazed to hear about the experiences, achievements, and expertise of fellow Bluebaggers!! Great stuff.

Thanks everybody. Six months ago I never thought of even attempting it...
Oh, today I am five years cancer free too! This is a really important milestone - never thought I'd get here either!!
