Bazaramba, Barambah and Barrumba (UPDATE Feb 2)

The following notable person recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2026 site stands out:

Maroochy Barambah (12 February 1955 – 28 January 2026)70, Australian Turrbal elder and mezzo-soprano singer

The surname Barambah sounds a lot like Barrumba, … note from my recent January 18 post, A Call to BLOOM (Renee Good Part 10) , note these excerpts from the post: 

• Terrance Donnell “Chet” Brooks (January 1, 1966 – January 17, 2026) 
• François Bazaramba (1 January 1951 – 16 January 2026)

 As to what is being communicated, the first two surnames, Brooks and Bazaramba, speak volumes (to me personally).  The surname Brooks via the “Remove a Letter in Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster then provides us with the word “books”, while the surname Bazaramba reminds me of Barrumba— a graphic book I wrote in 2000 that is book 4 of the “Beginning Faeries”

Okay, so the question then is, why have the inner twin world led us back here?!  On reading the little blurb above about Maroocy Barabah, the part re “Turrbal” elder stands out… reminding me that my great aunt May, who I was named after, had married a Turnbull.  I couldn’t find her obituary, butt I did find one for her son: Archer Roop Turnbull (see below).  Hmmm, he was born on 9/11!!  That was enough for me to read further.  What then stood out was the part about his relationship with the local indigenous population…, who even gave him a name— “White Oak”.  WHOA!!  White Oak is part of Book 2 in the Beginning Faeries, note this photo image of the page taken from the book, where it mentions “White Oak”: 

You can read more of the book (here). 

As for why I chose the title Barrumba for the last faerie book (and 4th faerie’s name), it forms part of a play with words on Ritchie Valens song, "La Bamba" and the word “rumble” that I associate with “rolling thunder”.  AND as to why “Thunder” plays a role in the name, note this page at the beginning of my third book in the series, Hermit the Red: 

So the crux being, that in developing the story line, each faerie was born at the end of a rainbow, butt in the case of the last two, Hermit the Red and Barrumba, their rainbow was hit by lightning that split it in two, as the images on the two pages indicate.  Two rainbows become twin faeries.  

On venturing to the La Bamba songs wiki page, I discovered the following:

The word "bamba" is of African origin, meaning "wood", referring to dancing on a wooden floor.

So wood being a connection to Fanny Oakleaf.  Also, note the following recent notable death listed on Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2026 site: 

• Woodie King Jr.(July 27, 1937 – January 29, 2026)  88, American theatre director.

Note the cryptic “wood/would woo die king kin” in his name.
