Russell, Darryl and the boys have just been over to the Solomon Islands to do some entertaining for the federal police force, and the army, all of them had a great time. It was a very different experience (shared accom, malaria worries, the heat and all the problems that the tropics can bring). It was something that all of them would do again if the opportunity arose.

Jim Keays is doing very well,he has just finished his last treatments and is on the road to recovery--he should be back performing with the boys by march next year.

Brian Cadd and russell are off to perth on the 30th of nov for another crazy tour. If you havent seen them in action you must try and make the effort as it is well worth it--i dont think that you will be disappointed.

Russ and Brian will also be up in syd on the 28th of nov till the 2nd of dec, so try and catch them..

Regards to every one have a good xmas--Michael. The album by Brian and Russell is now out and it has been very well received by all and sundary,the boys are really pleaseed with the reception. Jim Keays is making great progress-he has finished his treatments and he seems to be on the road to a full recovery

Jim should be back full time by the middle of the year.In the meantime brian and russell will be touring as the Cadd Morris combination--I will shortly update all t touring dates and times when they all finally come to hand. Russell has finished the album and it is called" Jump Start Diary"--in Russ's own words he thinks its the best he has done for a very long time. When he is on tour either by himself or with Cotton Keays and Morris he will be selling it---$25. Russ and his solo band just got back from Macau where they stayed and played for a week-- they thought it was great and so did the people that they worked for. Russ is also going to try and embark on the Kakoda trek--his problem is he has to have a knee operation so depending on how that comes up---the decision will be made then

Never made the Kakoda--too wimpy and the knee couldn't take it, so I was jettisoned"say's russ". Just finished another successful run with Brian--those lucky enough to see it will only agree. The album" jump start diary" has been picked up by a major distributor,and it will be in all stores within two months.
