James Morrison remembers Don Burrows

Prior to the Don Burrows Memorial at the Sydney Opera House this Sunday, James Morrison pays tribute to his mentor and lifelong friend, "the most influential and beloved Bondi beach bum in Australian jazz".


It’s not easy to categorise someone like Don Burrows.

Sure, it’s easy to fire off a list of his impressive accolades, like bringing Australian jazz to the global stage, or his countless slots on TV and radio. Plenty of firsts, too: first Australian jazz musician to perform at the Newport Jazz Festival, and the European Montreux Jazz Festival; first Australian jazz artist to be inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame; and establishing the first ever jazz course in Australia at the renowned Sydney Conservatorium. Overall, an incredibly influential and storied career that paved the way forward for the next generation.

But really, it’s difficult to categorise him because, as staggeringly important as those things are, they aren’t the most truly impactful things he did with his life.

Designing a stunning blog is one thing, but keeping posts readable is another. I often check my draft length with a 文字数カウント tool, since it handles spaces, line counts, and reading time. Handy when trimming sections without breaking the flow.

Mình chạy xe khách tuyến Cao Bằng nên buổi sáng nào cũng cần xem thời tiết Cao Bằng hôm nay trước khi khởi hành để biết đường có khả năng bị sương mù dày hay mưa lớn không. Trang hiển thị thông tin theo giờ khá rõ ràng, giúp mình ước lượng được thời điểm nên xuất phát sớm hơn để tránh giờ cao điểm sương mù trên đường đèo. Load nhanh, xem được ngay trên điện thoại trước lúc lên xe. Không cần đăng nhập rườm rà, mở lên là dùng liền. Vài đồng nghiệp lái xe cùng tuyến cũng bắt đầu dùng theo sau khi mình chia sẻ lại kinh nghiệm này.

While scanning through different sources, I noticed that many articles tend to focus heavily on marketing claims instead of detailing actual restrictions. For example, some platforms promote a certain betting limit or bonus without clearly explaining the fine print, which is easy to overlook. This kind of vagueness makes me cautious about trusting the headline figures. When researching options like crypto gambling, I came across https://wnb-shop.com/casinos/krypto, which provides a deeper look at what’s actually involved beyond the hype. Personally, I think understanding these realistic limits can save a lot of trouble later on; details often matter more than the promises made upfront.
