Hogan’s Famous Music Catalogue
Here it is folks – the famous music catalogue (not as extensive as it once was!), which can currently be viewed online, sorted by artist, then album title. Eventually, the catalogue will be converted to database format, where anyone who is interested can perform searches by title or artist.
The collection contains LP’s, cassettes, videos, CD’s and more recently DVD’s. My original CD collection of a few hundred CD’s (neatly filed in alphabetical order by artist) was severely diminished during the Great Norwood cd Heist of ‘92, when burglars ripped off all CD’s from A to S. Not sure why they left T to Z, but my prized Zappa collection was fortunately left untouched.

Memorable Quotes

The Southport News
This section is still a work in progress, but one source of rock ‘n roll news from yours truly was the “Southport News”. Originally written as a monthly newsletter to family and friends in Adelaide, it evolved into news and views with a humorous flavour and I’m told was much sought after by all recipients. The “Mudge News” (we now live in Mudgeeraba, not Southport) has often been considered, but so far has not started up again.
