This series was originally produced for Concert FM – a network of Radio New Zealand, by Roger Smith and Gareth Watkins.

Jonathan Dennis A special thank you to the many artists who graciously allowed their performances of Douglas’s music to be reproduced on these compact discs. And to all of the past and present broadcasters who have archived, or kept personal recordings relating to Douglas and New Zealand music history.

Our thanks too, to Dr. Peter Walls for permission to reprint his biographical note about Douglas and to Margaret Edgcumbe for allowing us to quote from the Kendrick Smithyman poem "Communicating", published in Earthquake Weather by Auckland University Press, 1972.


We would like to dedicate this series to the memory of our friend Jonathan Dennis.
