This is my Virtual Choir singing “Song For Western Australia” composed by Rod Christian Copyright 2005. The song depicts the beauty of Western Australia, the locations around the State and captures the spirit of WA.
My feelings for Western Australia are summed up in these lyrics: “Let us join together, with friends and family. To celebrate this great Sate, and live in harmony.”
Courtney Murphy recorded this song for me in 2012 and it was very well received. Since Covid 19 has virtually ended overseas and interstate travel, I decided to record my virtual choir sing the song in four part harmony SATB.
The result is astonishing and the video will premiere on Monday 1st June 2020 at 6:00 am which is WA Day. Please click the link here to access the video and share with fellow West Australians. The link will also be on facebook and Twitter.
Thank you for watching.

Dennis Bird, CEO of Abmusic Perth, Western Australia approached me to write an album for two Indigenous artists, Luke and Dan Riches who were born at One Arm Point in the Kimberley. These two brothers are such talented singers and songwriters and are already touring in their own band The Struggling Kings. I have had the pleasure of teaching them vocals for the album and also producing the entire album. I wrote nine of the original songs, the boys wrote  a song each to complete the album. Musicians who played on the album are Rod Christian Bass, Keys, Guitars and Drum programs using Logic X,  Mike Nelson (Keys), , Paul Millard (Saxes), Mark Underwood (Trumpet), George Janicki (Guitars), Dennis Bird (Percussion),Jenny Wrenn Nelson (Backup Vocals), Kelly Green (Backup Vocals) and Paul Reynolds (Backup Vocals.)
