SAPPHIRE
COAST COUNTRY - EXCLUSIVE VIDEO

Cameron
Cusack

Anneliese
Staubli
|
Nu
Country TV editor and filmmaker Peter Staubli is a strong
believer in the power of positive thinking.
When the latter day Sapphire Coast filmmaker saw a story about
teenage country singer Cameron Cusack in the Merimbula News
he swung into action.
The former Glen Iris based, Northcote High School teacher
contacted his Tura Beach neighbour and offered to direct and
produce a video clip.
Staubli blended unique concert footage he filmed at quaint
Twyford Hall, Merimbula, with Cameron performing atop a scenic
lookout above the Dolphin Cove Drive beach.
Cusack,
a former busker and protégé of dual ARIA Award
winner and Nu Country TV host Troy Cassar-Daley, chose Dreams
(Are Not That Far) from his indie debut album Wasting
Time.
Fellow
teenager Anneliese Staubli was so impressed by Cusack's original
music she interviewed the singer.
Anneliese, a student at Lumen Christi Catholic College, Pambula
Beach, embellishes her TV debut by hosting this Saturday's
show on C 31 at 10 pm.
Cusack revealed he wrote seven of the 10 songs on the disc
including the single with fellow young gun Aleyce Simmons.
The singer also included his evocative original Last Days
Of Summer - a tribute to the 2009 Victorian bushfires.
|
|
Viewers fascinated
by Cusack's video clip oceanic backdrop will enjoy a little
déjà vu.
It's also the idyllic locale for filming of two of popular
host Mid Pacific Bob Olson's piscatorial summer recipes from
Series #13.

invaluable collectors' item - a brace of the 4 Box sets by late
Australian country legend Slim Dusty.
Sittin' On 80 features a lost, classic track discovered
by Slim's widow Joy McKean.

- outback station hand and good mate who passed away in November
last year. |

he never heard the final version of Slim's recording of his
classic trucking song.
It has now been released as a single and included on Sittin'
On 80.

that has been digitally re-mastered by Australia's mastering
guru Don Bartley.
