A Plate Of Mine Brings Back Memories
I was looking around the Hospice Op Shop in Whangarei last Monday when this plate caught my eye. I recognized it immediately as one of mine. I turned it over and there on the back was my name, "D Wolland '95" scratched on the back. It was made when someone close to me died and I composed a song about him but never finished it. Some of the words are on the plate and so with mixed emotions I bought it. I had forgotten about making it and the song I wrote. I think I will record the entire song now as the melody and words have jumped out of the plate and called up the memories from the depths of my mind.

My Take On Bob Dylan
Now that there is the film on Bob Dylan in local cinemas I thought you might like to see and hear again the animation I made with a song I composed,sang and recorded. I Played a rather unusual Mandola that was made from a 12 string guitar. Watch carefully Bob's shifty eyes!!

My Novel "2060" - A Cover Page Idea
You might be thinking "what is this book all about?". Well, I would rather you read it than have me tell you. The cover is intended to provide some clues but parts of it probably won't make sense until Mike Stevens finishes telling his story. If you can guess what my book is about by the cover, I will give you a signed copy when it gets printed. Clue: it is set in New Zealand.
