Good Karma

Well thought would tell you a wee story about Good Karma - about a year ago (give or take) I was on one of my message boards and someone was looking for the Australian Cast Recording of 42nd Street. Well as it happens Dad had a copy so I made a copy for this lovely lady in England and arranged to send it to her - anyway I said I would give it to her no charge (you know share the love, pay it forward that kind of thing) that was until I got to the lovely New Zealand Post Office and realised it was going to cost a fortune to send - so to cut a long story short I told the lady in the UK (who I had never met) that was happy to send it to her but could she do something for me in return? .........

The cast album above is for the UK Recording of Children of Eden which somehow I stupidly lent to someone (note to self never lend out valuable recordings) and subsequently never received back (if you are reading this and have it PLEASE return to me). This CD now sells for over UK 100 pounds on Ebay - so...... ANYWAY this LOVELY lady in the UK (westendwendy) searched high and low and finally managed to find a cassette of it (for you kids out there - well ask your parents lol) and recorded it onto a CD for me and sent it all the way back to good old NZ and it is now in my hot little hands......... BTW if you EVER get a chance to hear this recording (NOT the US version that is rubbish!) DO SO! - it is quite simply phenomenal and for those of you that know me and know how big my CD collection is - well I would easily say that this is one of my very favourite Cast Albums of ALL TIME!


So I guess the lesson here is PAY IT FORWARD - it does work!


Have a beautiful day (oh and P.S. Grease tickets selling fast so make sure you book yours today - click on the poster to take you to the booking site).
