Bula! Mere's South Pacific Nova Hart Page

★ Bula Vinaka!

Greetings from Fiji! Mere here, Suva. Running this page off the FPTL Suva gateway.

★ A Sceptic's Counter-Argument

My position: great music, bad maths, and too many people who want a mystery. That said, I've been to 16 Listening Nights.

★ Favourite Song

'These Wings Are My Own' (1985). Across the ocean, her melody sounds like it's drifting over the waves.

★ South Pacific Tapes

Dubbed copy brought over by a cargo sailor from Auckland in 1987.
