  1. Hi!! I wanted to ask if it's possible to share Jim Minchin records, I think he was an Aussie artist that made religious records during the sixties. Hope you can help me, thank you very much for all the sharing on your blogs. Peace :)

  2. Sorry Ulysses no I don't have anything by him and until you made your request I'd never heard of him. I have no idea where to search for him but will see what I can do.
