Okay! Okay! How could we know that the New News Weekly Update would be so difficult to do each week? We have never taken care of a website before. Ha! The joke is definitely on us, that is for sure!

So we will at least have the New News Update and follow this one with #6!

It has been a very busy last few weeks as Bill has completed his commissions for now and is back to composing his major work for James Morrison called Antipodean Fantasy. It is based on the beauty and grandeur of this great country, Australia.

There will be more on this in the later weeks as Bill hopes to finish the composition by the end of the year. Then start the orchestration to be done by end of February 2006.

It is a major work to be sure. Full symphonic orchestra piece with James playing ten instruments. Approximately 56 minutes in length. Seven movements, lots of different styles but still with the jazz influence for James incredible abilities.

For those of you in the United States and elsewhere that have not heard of this gentleman, please look him up on the internet. He is an Australian icon and in my opinion the only talent of his kind that was ever created.

Anyway, Bill is having a ball writing this piece and we will keep you updated in the future on its future.

At present we would like to wish everyone a most Merry Christmas and a very prosperous and happy New Year!
