CREDITS AND THANKS

MILESAGO exists to celebrate the wonderful work of the innumerable musicians and their colleagues -- the engineers, producers, roadies and others -- who have given so much to make Australasian music so remarkable. This site is dedicated to them.

We are indebted to all those people, and to the many other fans and friends who have been so generous in contributing to our site, directly or indirectly, and to all the authors, publications and resources which have been sources of information for us.

Our special thanks go to all the Oz-music fanatics who have devoted so much time and care to documenting Australian popular music of the 50s, 60s and 70s and keeping it alive through print, TV, radio, records and other media.
