"The song has epic proportions and your rendition shows iconic sensitivities. One more for the heart. A song for the times. I'd have to think hard of cultural transitions. In this iteration it is quintessentially Australian. Not a bad thing. You sound fabulous."

ALBUMS
LA or BUSK
LA or BUSK – In 1994, Bob Haggart, composer of "I'm Free" (c) 1939, on hearing Catherine's lyric, invited her to attend the annual LA Classic Jazz Festival in California. To help raise the money, she started busking with the words “LA or Busk” on her guitar case. The eight songs on this album come from that period.
"..I enjoyed hearing you sing your lyrics of "I'm Free" and "My Inspiration" (long distance).." Bob Haggart 6th August 1994.
