[csaa-forum] book on Dave Warner on the web

[Jon Stratton]

 Hi Everybody, 
     Some of you may know Dave Warner's music.  For those of you that don't, Warner was a major figure on the Perth music scene during the 1970s.  In 1978 his album _Mug's Game_ was released.  It went gold nationally.  Warner is renowned for his celebration of the suburbs--his most well-known song is 'Suburban Boy,' a version of which is on _Mug's Game_.  
     A few of you may know that Alan Howard published a short-run biography of Warner's early life in Perth in 1981.  This book has not been easy to get hold of.  I am now glad to be able to tell you that, with financial help from the Faculty of Media, Society and Culture at Curtin University of Technology, I have been able to get Howard's book, _Dave Warner: Suburban Boy_, put on the web.  It is a fascinating account of growing up in Perth during the 1960s and 1970s and, of course, includes much material about Warner's early influences.  You will find the book at: http://info.ccs.curtin.edu.au/DaveWarner_book.cfm <https://email.curtin.edu.au/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://info.ccs.curtin.edu.au/DaveWarner_book.cfm>  .
 
enjoy!
Jon
