Peter Daws - The Wanderer's Blues

Welcome to the homepage of the Wanderer's Blues. This site has been set up as part of the assessment for KWB380 - Creative Non-Fiction Lifewriting, a subject undertaken at Queensland University of Technology. On this site you can download a blues tune by local Brisbane musician Peter Daws and read a short biographical piece which explains the motivation behind the song and why it has been published on the internet.

If you are visiting this site and are neither my lecturer or my tutor, then I am quite amazed. A part of the assessment for this subject is to consider possible publication methods for the essays which we write. Because I decided to incorporate music into my final assessment piece, I decided that the internet was the best place to publish both song and essay. One aspect which I didn't consider was the amount of effort involved in getting people to visit a website that isn't affiliated with any previously established online community. Even if you are my assessor, if you have any comments about the site or the piece or any response to this minute chunk of cyberspace, please feel free to email me at mailto:g.gottlieb@student.qut.edu.au. Thanks alot.

Hopefully, you should be able to right-click and Save As on the link below if you wish to download the mp3 of The Wanderer's Blues. The link below that one is the written piece which accompanies the song. They are intended to be mutually contextualising and inseparable as one work. Hope the downlaods work. Fingers crossed!

Also, if you're interested in reading the processes I went through in an effort to publish this piece online, I imagine that if you click http://thesnips.tripod.com/publication_ideas.doc, you just might be able to read a word document that tells you a bit about it. In case you can't tell, I'm a bit new to this so bear with me here please. Actually there's probably no-one ever going to read this is there. Hmmm. Yes.
