Speaker 5: my life and things just went a bit of ry.
Speaker 5: It lives an all nightmare anyway. How are you, Simon,
Speaker 5: I'm good.
Speaker 4: How have you been?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm pretty good. A little wistful as of yesterday. Okay,
Speaker 5: it is sort of an nostalgic wistfulness, which is appropriate
Speaker 5: to this program. Remember when, Yes, it is what caused it?
Speaker 5: May I ask looking through photos, and not for the
Speaker 5: quite the reason you're preps thinking. But I've got.
Speaker 4: A looking for evidence, a crime scene photo.
Speaker 5: We have a lot of those photos in the family
Speaker 5: with chalk marks around the body. We don't know, it's
Speaker 5: all very probably, No, it could be giggling. Stop it, sorry,
Speaker 5: because I look at them all and it's sad because
Speaker 5: a lot of the people I don't know who they are.
Speaker 5: They once meant something, and then I can I recognize
Speaker 5: one as my grandmother and she's and it'll just have
Speaker 5: written on the back of the photograph Barron Bay in
Speaker 5: nineteen sixty three or something like that. But who's with her?
Speaker 4: Those people?
Speaker 5: And then there's people I know must be relations of
Speaker 5: mine and they just are not identifying. And then, of
Speaker 5: course I've got a daughter. Do I pass these photos
Speaker 5: onto her?
Speaker 4: You do? But then she's going to do what I'm
Speaker 4: doing to my parents at the moment, because we're also
Speaker 4: doing photos, are saying who's this mum? That's Lorraine and okay,
Speaker 4: well that's good.
Speaker 5: Well that's something I never when my parents, or let
Speaker 5: alone grandmother. My grandmother died sixty years ago. But so
Speaker 5: they're all gone. There's no one to ask, and I
Speaker 5: just found myself a little bit sad, like what lives
Speaker 5: were they were? They did? They have a wonderful time?
Speaker 5: Who are you exactly? I'd love to know. I'm so
Speaker 5: well dressed. Everyone's got coats, and all the men coats
Speaker 5: and ties on and all that is if they're in
Speaker 5: the city, they've got a hat.
Speaker 4: On and bring that back. I say, I couldn't say.
Speaker 5: I want to see lots of hats. Yes, completely, I'm
Speaker 5: not the only thing with hats, and I know you
Speaker 5: love yours. It makes your head a bit hot.
Speaker 4: Well, see, I have no hair, so for me it
Speaker 4: keeps it warm.
Speaker 5: I suppose there's yeah, I have. I used to have
Speaker 5: to wear a hat at school. I think they wasn't
Speaker 5: school where it was it anyway somewhere and I was
Speaker 5: sweaty hair, you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, hat hair, hat hair. Yeah, hat hair is a shocker, absolutely.
Speaker 5: But your spared it.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, I just but I get sweatstains in the
Speaker 4: inside of the hat.

Speaker 5: Yeah, lovely, lovely girl. Girl we had as a guest
Speaker 5: when I first filled in on this propriate.
Speaker 4: Only a couple of months ago. Yes, it's basically three
Speaker 4: months ago. Marcy was on with us having a chat.
Speaker 5: And it seems to have been quite sudden her passing
Speaker 5: because in the hell Sun today there's an article about
Speaker 5: her being ill but not not nothing, sort of as
Speaker 5: dramatic as you know, she's on the edge of death.
Speaker 5: But obviously the things took a turn for the worst.

Speaker 4: very good for for a lifetime, So we'll find out
Speaker 4: from normally after eleven what he knows. Indeed, now before

Speaker 6: Remember when beat the price rise with the Blind Factory
Speaker 6: Call one three blinds Now for expert advice, unbeatable deals
Speaker 6: and a lifetime guarantee.
Speaker 4: That credit was logged as the weekend wrap credit, but

Speaker 4: for the Blind Factory. Hello Ben, by the.
Speaker 5: Way, Hello, how's it all going, boys.
Speaker 4: Good, good, good. Did either of you do anything interesting?
Speaker 4: I've not really, I've been working all weekend.
Speaker 5: So Ben straight to you because you've just heard what
Speaker 5: I did look at old photos from a suitcase.
Speaker 7: Well, I was working this weekend as well, but earlier
Speaker 7: in the week, which is technically my weekend because that's
Speaker 7: when my days offer. I did go and see a
Speaker 7: horror film from Adelaide called Bring Her Back.
Speaker 4: Oh, yes, we've seen the trailers for that. That looks
Speaker 4: terribly scary.
Speaker 7: It's not as scary as you think, but it's more suspense,
Speaker 7: a suspense and uncomfortable.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's probably the best.
Speaker 4: Way, but just don't quite know what's going to happen.
Speaker 4: The trailer looks really good.
Speaker 7: And the suspense, especially for the first half, is really strong,
Speaker 7: and then when you get to about halfway you go, oh, okay,
Speaker 7: this maybe isn't as much as I thought it was
Speaker 7: going to be. But yes, it's not for the faint hearted,
Speaker 7: and there's some quite unpleasant moments, let's put it that way.
Speaker 4: Okay, But good work here if you.
Speaker 7: Like, yeah, if you like that sort of thing, or
Speaker 7: if you like to see the scenery of Adelaide, which
Speaker 7: does look beautiful in the movie.
Speaker 5: All that sandstone, all that wonderful sandstone they deal with.
Speaker 7: They filmed it in the in the Adelaide Hills, so
Speaker 7: it's just showing all this beautiful nature and scenery as well.
Speaker 7: Like they've done a very good job with that.
Speaker 4: It's a pretty silly, yeah, Andrew, anything else to report
Speaker 4: for your weekend?
Speaker 5: The photos?
Speaker 4: That was it?
Speaker 8: All right?
Speaker 4: So we're done, all right, So we get to a
Speaker 4: break and get our special guest star. Great. The matter.
Speaker 9: About these.
Speaker 10: Over beside?
Speaker 8: We would.
Speaker 9: Body these are you.
Speaker 10: Session speaking.
Speaker 3: Those peoples?
Speaker 5: For me?
Speaker 4: Andrew would either pash or bedroom eyes. That's uh.
Speaker 11: Look with my personal favorites, can I throw and trust me? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 11: I always like that. I think that might have been
Speaker 11: the first for our upcoming legend who's right here on
Speaker 11: the phone with us, Kate, Sobrano, A very good evening to.
Speaker 12: You get.
Speaker 13: A going.
Speaker 4: We're good, Kate, I was saying to Andrew just before that.
Speaker 4: When you look through well even through Wikipedia and look
Speaker 4: at all the things you've achieved in your career, you
Speaker 4: sort of your eclipse John Farnham and people guys like that,
Speaker 4: with everything you've achieved, it's quite amazing. And I said
Speaker 4: to Andrew, why would Kate bother talking to us?
Speaker 14: Aha? Oh no, it's good. It's good to get out
Speaker 14: and chat and promote. I've actually been sort of been
Speaker 14: on the down load a little bit lately, just waiting
Speaker 14: to do something a bit special. And something's come up
Speaker 14: that's kind of special and it's coming together really, really well.
Speaker 14: And that's when you know. You get back out on
Speaker 14: the road and you're like, Okay, I want to talk
Speaker 14: about this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, lovely, do you want to tell us what it is?
Speaker 14: No, I lose today?
Speaker 15: Okay, cool?
Speaker 14: I was giving you belief. Well, it's coming up for
Speaker 14: about forty years since Australian made the very famous Australian Tour,
Speaker 14: which by the way, came about because a gauntlet was
Speaker 14: set down and it was and what they'd sort of
Speaker 14: claimed was that you couldn't have all Australian cast on
Speaker 14: an Australian festival and have it succeed. That was what
Speaker 14: they were saying at the time. And I remember Jimmy
Speaker 14: Barnes he said, oh, that's a lot of volted and
Speaker 14: then there was Michael Hutchins and then there but then
Speaker 14: they put a list of artists of the times, including
Speaker 14: I'm talking I think you mentioned, but there were the models,
Speaker 14: the Saints, the Vinyls, there were medal as anything. I mean,
Speaker 14: the list went on, but basically it was it was
Speaker 14: in excess and Jimmy and and we all agreed that
Speaker 14: we were going to go out and show them that
Speaker 14: Australia could actually show up for itself.
Speaker 5: And we did and did it very well. Took well,
Speaker 5: you've gotta made two coming up now, good title for it.
Speaker 5: Of course on the fortieth year, and you start in
Speaker 5: Bateman's Babe, but you're coming to Melbourne.
Speaker 4: You going to wait?
Speaker 5: In fact, where aren't you going? Every state as far
Speaker 5: as I can see in Australia, isn't it?
Speaker 14: Well?
Speaker 15: I did.
Speaker 14: I just decided I'm working with my husband on this
Speaker 14: and we sort of went around regionally with the idea.
Speaker 14: I haven't been out to the regions in such a
Speaker 14: long time. It's kind of where I started. And the
Speaker 14: show it's pretty it's it's basically we get to perform
Speaker 14: a lot of the material from all the artists that
Speaker 14: were represented on that trip. And then as I bought
Speaker 14: it through and over three forty years, we go through
Speaker 14: to a whole other variety of Australian artists including like
Speaker 14: really while everything, Paul Kelly, wolf Mother, Megan Washington, Bernard Fanning,
Speaker 14: you name it. Like, there's just this whole, trawling, fishing
Speaker 14: line of all Australian music.
Speaker 4: So how do you narrow it down to a playlist
Speaker 4: that will fit in one concept? Are these just sort
Speaker 4: of your personal favorites?
Speaker 16: Yeah?
Speaker 14: I had to choose it on a real personal level
Speaker 14: and on how the times as I've just and also
Speaker 14: the people that I've worked with. You know, I'm sad
Speaker 14: to have to tell you, but mostly all of the headliners,
Speaker 14: or at least the singers, the lead singers in our past, yeah,
Speaker 14: the ones standing at Sean and myself and Jimmy of course, yes,
Speaker 14: And so to be able to play homage to those
Speaker 14: great artists and know that also, none of it really
Speaker 14: had to have anything to do with Like it's not
Speaker 14: like today where you know a bill will be picked
Speaker 14: because everyone's sort of similar. We had nothing in common
Speaker 14: and it was so it represents stradia so well because
Speaker 14: there were punk bands and there were pop bands, and
Speaker 14: there was rock bands, and that is kind of like
Speaker 14: the profile of Straliing music. So anyway, I talk about
Speaker 14: all the people I've met and stories along the way,
Speaker 14: but I don't. I just perform a lot of the
Speaker 14: songs and then we re announce it with the reasons
Speaker 14: why they're important to me?
Speaker 5: Is there going to be a bit of Kate Sobrano
Speaker 5: and amongst it all?
Speaker 12: Though, of course.
Speaker 14: Does a cut out a bum?
Speaker 5: It's just like.
Speaker 14: I can't I can't not mention how the decades have
Speaker 14: passed and there was a hit that happened on every
Speaker 14: kind of passing of every ten years, and yeah, are
Speaker 14: we definitely doing all those yes?
Speaker 5: Please? Yeah, Well you got as far as Victoria goes,
Speaker 5: you're going to be in Aubrey. We'll give the well,
Speaker 5: actually i'll give more detail about how people can find
Speaker 5: out where you're going to be. But you're going to
Speaker 5: be in Ringwoods, You're going to be in Frankston, You're
Speaker 5: going to be in Bending, You're going to you're really
Speaker 5: doing a lot of work. How's it feel You've been
Speaker 5: touring that for at least forty years? How does it
Speaker 5: feel like another gig, another motel and all that you
Speaker 5: still cope with it?
Speaker 14: Kate, No, this one's very special, Like I'm actually taking
Speaker 14: out a trio. It sounds pretty bizarre, but we're all
Speaker 14: multi instrumentalists, so we're kind of we all trade all
Speaker 14: of the instruments, just the three of us. There's a
Speaker 14: young girl, Kathleen Hallerin who's an incredible guitarist, and Darren
Speaker 14: Harts I'm on drums and piano, and we all swap
Speaker 14: and we all sort of sing and it's just a
Speaker 14: different sort of stuff. So I'm excited.
Speaker 4: I reckon.
Speaker 14: I mean, really, the key to staying young is to
Speaker 14: surround yourself with young, inspired people, and at my age,
Speaker 14: I just really feel it's important to express how important
Speaker 14: Straliing music is and to give an honor all of
Speaker 14: the artists that have inspired and kept me in the
Speaker 14: business for so long. And these kids they went is
Speaker 14: in born when Australia made happen, and so the audience
Speaker 14: is I just look, I'm probably speaking ahead of its time.
Speaker 14: I just really think people are really.
Speaker 17: Going to love this show.
Speaker 14: It's for all reasons. It's everyone's memory with justad Water,
Speaker 14: Everyone's memories, you know, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, no one better to do it because you've lived there,
Speaker 4: you lived through it and were part of it. And yeah,
Speaker 4: now exactly celebrating it all, which is marvelous. So do
Speaker 4: you tell a story or two in between the songs
Speaker 4: on stage?
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 14: At the we've got like a bit of a sort
Speaker 14: of setup where there's a VIP kind of experience and
Speaker 14: I get to talk with them and I explained the
Speaker 14: history and the context of the songs. Then the show
Speaker 14: begins and then once we're in it Definitely do Yeah,
Speaker 14: I definitely do tell about people and what it was
Speaker 14: like to really like rub shoulders with some of the
Speaker 14: most important people in Australian music, and what it felt
Speaker 14: like to be very young and standing in the wings,
Speaker 14: you know, between Rene Gayer and Chrissy Amphlet or something.
Speaker 14: There was like there was a dynamic that I learned
Speaker 14: about women and certainly the differences of women in the
Speaker 14: seventies based and what they'd been up against. Lots of
Speaker 14: things like that. Just really interesting stories that have to
Speaker 14: do with what shape me as an artist.
Speaker 5: Kate. I first became aware of you singing, Oh, I say, yeah,
Speaker 5: I said, the Georgie Fame thing. Yeah, yeah, that's the song,
Speaker 5: isn't it?
Speaker 18: Oh my god?
Speaker 16: Yeah?
Speaker 5: And I was watching TV one night. To be honest,
Speaker 5: I didn't know you. I didn't know who. I didn't
Speaker 5: know who I'm talking really was about. But there was
Speaker 5: this and then most it was this dark haired girl
Speaker 5: and she's got this big smile and she's moving and
Speaker 5: she's committed to I thought, who's that? And because there
Speaker 5: was no name given, it was just this I'm talking
Speaker 5: and now on to the next act. I can't remember
Speaker 5: what the show was, and it was and it was
Speaker 5: turned out that was you. And it's interesting how you've
Speaker 5: stayed in my mind for years before I actually knew
Speaker 5: who you were until he went and that was when
Speaker 5: till he went solo, and then ah, that's that girl.
Speaker 5: It's the power of smiling is almost.
Speaker 14: He's got like it's it's the way that you let
Speaker 14: the light out. I mean, it is, That's it.
Speaker 4: I'll chuck in Kate that, yes, this the smell is important,
Speaker 4: but it's great to have talent to becc it up.
Speaker 5: Yes, but it does help tell it get through all
Speaker 5: the things.
Speaker 14: No, that's beautiful though, I really appreciate that, and I do.
Speaker 14: I do think that there are and as I you know,
Speaker 14: like as I've come through the ranks with people around
Speaker 14: me like Michael Hutchinson, even see her. For instance, when
Speaker 14: she was a kid, I'd go to Adelaide and her
Speaker 14: dad would actually always ask me as I was coming
Speaker 14: into town, is it okay to see it? Gets up
Speaker 14: and has a thing Like she was twelve and you
Speaker 14: could tell you could tell that a person was coming,
Speaker 14: you know, like you could see that they had something
Speaker 14: about them that was that was so distinctly different. You
Speaker 14: could call it ambition, but it's not. It's more like
Speaker 14: a kind of like a destiny, you know, you just
Speaker 14: you can feel that they're meant to do it.
Speaker 5: Couldn't agree more. And you've see it on the musical stage.
Speaker 5: You see it sometimes on a movie screen. Do you
Speaker 5: think that act to playing that relatively small role and
Speaker 5: he's really or she's really good, you.
Speaker 14: Know, you just can't take your eyes off exactly what. Yeah,
Speaker 14: it's definitely. It's definitely in the arts. I think that
Speaker 14: it's in particular with music, Like musicians either have it
Speaker 14: or they don't. You know, you can be as technically
Speaker 14: trained as the next person, but it's that little extra
Speaker 14: willingness to kind of want to be seen. And I
Speaker 14: don't think it's very straight in to want to be
Speaker 14: seen as a rule, like we tend to hide, and
Speaker 14: we tend to sort of like fall into the shadows
Speaker 14: and want to be a lot like our friends and
Speaker 14: not really stick out of the crowd. But for me,
Speaker 14: as a kid, I found I felt free on stage
Speaker 14: and I felt like it was the safest place in
Speaker 14: the room for me. So I just kept gravitating to it.
Speaker 5: It came across, Well, it comes across Kate.
Speaker 14: That's great. I love that. Well, nothing's changed forty years
Speaker 14: in and I'm still keen as mustards.
Speaker 4: Well that was another question, was is do you still
Speaker 4: love it as much as you did when it first
Speaker 4: all happened for you? I guess you must, otherwise you
Speaker 4: retire and sit at home and do nothing.
Speaker 14: Well, I do have. I think I have a really
Speaker 14: failsafe sort of mechanism in me that if I'm curious
Speaker 14: about something, I'll just I'll pursue it. And you know,
Speaker 14: anyone who lives with me around me knows I won't
Speaker 14: stop until I actually kind of see it through to
Speaker 14: the end, the good, bad and the ugly. And I
Speaker 14: reckon it's kept me going because and I actually see
Speaker 14: that same thing in Jimmy Barnes. He has the same
Speaker 14: inexhaustible curiosity, curiosity towards music and entertainment and sort of talking.
Speaker 14: He's a storyteller. I am too, and we just I
Speaker 14: think we simply know that our role in life to
Speaker 14: bring people together, connect to them by music, and give
Speaker 14: their stories and their memories a bit of a soundtrack.
Speaker 14: That's what I reckon we do.
Speaker 4: Now, Okate, I have to also ask you, like part
Speaker 4: of I'm talking solo career TV stage, it all just
Speaker 4: seems quite natural for you, each of those adjustments in
Speaker 4: your career, well not adjustments, but each of those movements
Speaker 4: in your career. Did you find any of them threatening, terrifying,
Speaker 4: nervous energy or did you just sort of go, yeah,
Speaker 4: I'll give that a crack.
Speaker 14: I too, find television's really freaky. Like I remember the
Speaker 14: first time I went and shot something for Getaway, and
Speaker 14: I did feel a bit like I felt fish out
Speaker 14: of water. And the guy put me in a field
Speaker 14: and then from a long distance camera about two hundred
Speaker 14: meters away, he yelled, okay, action, and you know you've
Speaker 14: got to put this big dialogue as you're walking to
Speaker 14: a camera, and you've got to make it look really natural.
Speaker 14: And I just turned to and I said, what first
Speaker 14: hell was this? Like I don't understand what I didn't understand,
Speaker 14: And because of that, I just I didn't think that
Speaker 14: that was going to be where I ended up like
Speaker 14: it was. It was sort of nice thing to do
Speaker 14: while I was waiting for You know, you go in
Speaker 14: and out of fashion with yourself right over forty years.
Speaker 14: You also lose interest as well, and sometimes you've got
Speaker 14: to lead something to come back and it realize you've
Speaker 14: missed it. And television was just a small moment for
Speaker 14: me to do something interesting and fun. But I didn't
Speaker 14: think I was like, I didn't feel like I could
Speaker 14: be free like I came when I sing, And I realized, like,
Speaker 14: probably the thing I do best in my life is
Speaker 14: seeing an interpret music.
Speaker 5: Kate, I always asked, sing is there and musicians too?
Speaker 5: What was the first record you bought? Do you remember?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 19: I do.
Speaker 14: Actually it was Kate Bush?
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, yes, oh, pretty inspirational stuff.
Speaker 14: And I found because of the wonder and the limitless
Speaker 14: composition of her as a person, as a singer, as
Speaker 14: a performing artist, there was just if you ever go
Speaker 14: back and you ever listen to any of her interviews,
Speaker 14: you realize that she was just again she was just
Speaker 14: like this kind of very eccentric person who wasn't trying
Speaker 14: to be like anyone else. And I thought that was
Speaker 14: pretty cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree, Yeah, very innovative.
Speaker 4: You're both sing in quite a high range.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I you usually joke about her that that, you know,
Speaker 4: bats are probably her biggest audience. She probably sings things
Speaker 4: we can't even hear. But you also have a great
Speaker 4: ability to really pitch up. How do you go with that?
Speaker 4: Like Cyndy Lauper was another one who sang in quite
Speaker 4: a high register.
Speaker 14: And I think if the years go over you you
Speaker 14: your voices like like an instrument or read it changes,
Speaker 14: and certainly even like you know, after childbirth and stuff
Speaker 14: where your body's gone through this amazing transformation, all the bellows,
Speaker 14: everything's changed, all the chambers, and then you know, like
Speaker 14: my voice isn't at all like that anymore. Like I
Speaker 14: can do well, for instance, you know the set list,
Speaker 14: I go from anything from early Models stuff which I
Speaker 14: sang on as a kid, But then I can also
Speaker 14: come all the way into singing Rene Gayer or even more.
Speaker 14: I can, I can, I can do it all. In fact,
Speaker 14: I reckon you get a bit more. I want to say,
Speaker 14: there's more depth, and you're kind of more salty. I
Speaker 14: like it. It's deeper, it's a deeper feeling.
Speaker 5: You're not the only thinger to say that that time
Speaker 5: has in the since been kind of the voice given
Speaker 5: a sort of a Melonis that wasn't there when you're
Speaker 5: eighteen or nineteen.
Speaker 14: That's right, I reckon, yes completely.
Speaker 4: Now we time is almost up. We've got to let
Speaker 4: you go shortly. We're loving your chat, but I won't
Speaker 4: pride too much into your private life. But still married
Speaker 4: and a very talented daughter.
Speaker 5: Daughter.
Speaker 14: I have a really have an incredible family, the three
Speaker 14: of us, the three little bears. We're really we have
Speaker 14: a very creative house because she's writing and she's singing.
Speaker 14: She has her own career, and my husband and I
Speaker 14: work together and we've been doing that since COVID and
Speaker 14: we're doing really well with that. In fact, we're touring
Speaker 14: and promoting and doing all of this ourselves, so we're
Speaker 14: not going to be a part. And that's another reason
Speaker 14: why touring is probably not as arduous as it's been
Speaker 14: in my life, because we just get to do it together.
Speaker 15: It's just the best thing.
Speaker 4: Well, I was at a gig. I was at the
Speaker 4: launch of something last year. I can't even remember what
Speaker 4: it was. I got a T shirt out of it.
Speaker 4: But I was a launch of something and Gypsy was

Speaker 14: there's like we have. She's got her own distinct character,
Speaker 14: in her own distinct voice, so there's no comparison. And
Speaker 14: she's just Also she's just a really lovely performer. So
Speaker 14: she's yeah, she's just starting and she's on her way.

Speaker 5: Rick mill Good evening to you.
Speaker 16: I don't truly eBay Andrew McLaren, now have you know?
Speaker 5: That's what you say publicly? But I know you do.
Speaker 5: You're even probably doing it as we speak.
Speaker 16: I'm only looking for Elvis records on on the Sun label.
Speaker 5: At a modest price.
Speaker 4: I bet too, of course, or an early Jade Hurly single.
Speaker 16: We know you know you're talking.
Speaker 5: Oh, you bought some absolute beauties in that we could
Speaker 5: well share our of course the social media.
Speaker 4: Yes, Rick Milne is here if you want to give
Speaker 4: him a call. Number three six nine three is the number.
Speaker 4: Get in, Get in early and we'll get you to
Speaker 4: wear and you can have a chat to Rick about
Speaker 4: that fabulous thing that is in your possession that you
Speaker 4: want to share with us. All one double three six
Speaker 4: ninety three.
Speaker 5: In the meantime, I love the palacco ad that you've
Speaker 5: said in date from the fifties. I guess it's.
Speaker 16: An actually a footy fixture with that with the lady
Speaker 16: on it and do you remember the line that they
Speaker 16: had Palacco. No, not really, she said, Palacco the ment
Speaker 16: shirts that women admire.
Speaker 5: That is that's right. I had the pleasure of meeting
Speaker 5: the son of lack of There was mister Peters, mister Lame,
Speaker 5: and there was their company, and.
Speaker 16: I met the footy fixture and it's got a woman
Speaker 16: on the front. Yes, very funny and Palacco. Incidentally, very
Speaker 16: next door of the Palacco factory was in Richmond, was
Speaker 16: where Scott Palmer lived.
Speaker 4: Is that right next to the factory.
Speaker 16: Next house to the to the factory he lived in
Speaker 16: the late Scott Palmer. Of course, great writer, Keep on
Speaker 16: punch and remember that's right what he used to say.
Speaker 16: The next one is there's a little piece of war propaganda,
Speaker 16: I suppose you'd call it, and that shows a ship
Speaker 16: sinking and it says another victim of Sabo talk like
Speaker 16: I said, sabotage.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, loose lips and chips. Wasn't that was another
Speaker 5: phrase they used to use, wasn't it, Yes, yes.
Speaker 16: Sebata fort sabbat Savo talk. Next one is a beauty
Speaker 16: and this is from a client who collects it collects
Speaker 16: show cards that are in the shape of the product.
Speaker 16: That's all he collects. Either would if he's got some
Speaker 16: can a little local soft drink company, it would be
Speaker 16: in the shape of the cairn. This one is over
Speaker 16: an osram, which is not from line globes. Yes, and
Speaker 16: it's as you can see, it's in the shape of
Speaker 16: the land. Now, the reason that's quite expensive is because
Speaker 16: it would be very easily damaged. Because if you've got justice,
Speaker 16: it's got a rectangular card, it's show card, it's going
Speaker 16: to be fine. But once you get these unusual shapes,
Speaker 16: of course, it's very easy to get them damaged. To
Speaker 16: find one of those in really night condition, I reason
Speaker 16: you have to pay about seven fifty to get another one.
Speaker 4: Good heaven wow. I love the idea of that, the shapes.
Speaker 4: I thought for a while it might be interesting to
Speaker 4: start a collection of boxes of things like like chocolate confectory,
Speaker 4: like Mars bars and life savers and all that. They
Speaker 4: come in big display boxes and usually there's a perforated edge.
Speaker 4: You can open it up and fold things up so
Speaker 4: it looks good in the shop. I thought those would
Speaker 4: be a good thing to collect. Once upon a time.
Speaker 16: They are, and they also in the earlier time, especially
Speaker 16: in the old department stores, country open stores in particular,
Speaker 16: for some reason, they used to have the items in
Speaker 16: the window, like bars of chocolate and so forth, but
Speaker 16: they were fake. They weren't real chocolate. They had test
Speaker 16: there were cardboard on the inside. There is a very
Speaker 16: example as of a product that's in the shape of
Speaker 16: the item, but it's not it's made of cardboard. So
Speaker 16: they used to do that for quite a few things
Speaker 16: they have. In fact, at one stage I had the
Speaker 16: dog from his master's voice. In fact I still have it.
Speaker 16: It's paper mache and it's up to about your hip
Speaker 16: in height. And of course he was used to listen
Speaker 16: to the little record player. Besides, that's his master's voice.
Speaker 16: That's an example of something that's in the shape again,
Speaker 16: same thing one.
Speaker 5: Double three six nine three. If you have something you
Speaker 5: would like value it one double three six nine three,
Speaker 5: Rick is here, please use his talents. Rick is smoking
Speaker 5: collectibles of that world of smoke and alien I think
Speaker 5: you'll probably call it. Is that still extent? Is it
Speaker 5: still something that people do or is it just become
Speaker 5: a big taboo?
Speaker 16: No, not at all. There are some especially some some
Speaker 16: tins tobacco tins in particular that are really really valuable.
Speaker 16: There was one that came out called the file app
Speaker 16: and it actually had a picture of the racehorse on
Speaker 16: the on the front of the tin and the kind
Speaker 16: of a circular part. And there are lots and lots
Speaker 16: of them of very small brand tobacco tins that will
Speaker 16: sell for anywhere from five hundred to about fifteen hundred
Speaker 16: dollars each.
Speaker 5: Good.
Speaker 16: There was one that was brought out in that little
Speaker 16: town out back town on Queensland by a fellow called
Speaker 16: his name is Bayless and he and it says on
Speaker 16: the on the thing Bayless Tobacco x AIFES his Australian
Speaker 16: Infantry Force.
Speaker 5: So he was he was an x yest something that's
Speaker 5: that's on the tin. Yeah, Well calls please one double
Speaker 5: three six nine three is the number or text if
Speaker 5: you like one double three six nine three. What about
Speaker 5: ashtrays rick uh with maybe with advertising on them?
Speaker 16: Well there was one, there's one very famous one brought
Speaker 16: out by Olympic Tires and it was a tire and
Speaker 16: in the middle of the tire was the glass sp Yes.
Speaker 16: Remember those I remember they were, yeah, and you still
Speaker 16: see them occasionally. They were in the shape of the well,
Speaker 16: it was the tire. So there you go. There's another
Speaker 16: ruc that's that you if you were collecting, that's in
Speaker 16: the shape of.
Speaker 4: The product that's adals.
Speaker 16: Yeah, so yep, there are And of course there were
Speaker 16: those that I remember. I think my grandfather might have
Speaker 16: even had. One was kind of on a stand and
Speaker 16: it had a sort of a circular It was a
Speaker 16: came up from the base and there was kind of
Speaker 16: a circular area that had where he put his siggies,
Speaker 16: and then above that there's a little place where his
Speaker 16: the matchbox went. And then beside that was where the
Speaker 16: where you put the age of the cigarette.
Speaker 5: That's right, And what about that? There wasn't our family
Speaker 5: last ray? Were you pressed down in the middle on
Speaker 5: some the butt out of the way.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 16: It was kind of like a sewerage. You might say,
Speaker 16: this horrible stuff. You press the button and it all disappears,
Speaker 16: goes down the bottom, you don't see it anymore. And
Speaker 16: then of course to have to fill it up and
Speaker 16: have to empy it all out one of the problems
Speaker 16: with it, And of course were those that were done wartime.
Speaker 16: There are quite a few done around the wartime which
Speaker 16: featured planes aeroplanes, and some of those had astrays on
Speaker 16: them as well, so they were Ye, there's quite a few.
Speaker 16: And I have to say, almost all the people that
Speaker 16: collect what we'll call smoking paraphernalia, almost every every everyone
Speaker 16: I think I've ever met is a non smoker.
Speaker 4: Is that right? A quick break back with Rick Milne

Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 12: I bought a Queen's Greatest Hit album around twenty five
Speaker 12: to thirty years ago. It was off a sound engineer
Speaker 12: who worked out of Abbey Road, and well, you know,
Speaker 12: like all his wife basically said, get rid of like
Speaker 12: three hundred albums or enough space for her to at
Speaker 12: least put her clothing into the wardrobe. And yeah, so
Speaker 12: we offloaded him. And look at the time he had
Speaker 12: three hundred up online. He's also sold his passes, so
Speaker 12: they were all genuine and I checked him out at
Speaker 12: the time to make sure the dates matched up, which
Speaker 12: they did. But yeah, I had the four members of
Speaker 12: Queen who signed it and the things. I'd really like
Speaker 12: to stick it up, but I'm too worried to do that.
Speaker 12: I think I'll have to make a copy of it
Speaker 12: and put it away.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, you certainly don't want it up on a
Speaker 4: wall or anything because it'll fade.
Speaker 16: Yeah, you's got to be very careful about got to
Speaker 16: be careful if you have it, if you have it displayed, Sean,
Speaker 16: you need to do it in a passage way where
Speaker 16: there is very very little light because the light is
Speaker 16: the enemy of signatures. But you've got something pretty special
Speaker 16: there to say. And I've got just the first person
Speaker 16: for you to speak to if you would care to
Speaker 16: give us a call after we get concluded here, and

Speaker 12: had three little kids and two hundred and fifty four pounds.
Speaker 12: There was a lot of money for me at that time,
Speaker 12: and I could only afford to buy that one, so
Speaker 12: I wish I could have but there but you know, thankfully,
Speaker 12: you know you just mentioned light. I was going to say, sadly,
Speaker 12: which is actually intended to be a good thing. My
Speaker 12: wife would never let me ever put it up in
Speaker 12: the house and or present it out or anything like that.
Speaker 12: So I lived in a safe in a box for
Speaker 12: the last that's never seen light, maybe three or four
Speaker 12: times in that time.
Speaker 4: You're still married, Sean.
Speaker 12: No, I'm getting the album.

Speaker 10: Well, you're going to cover Marcy Jones with Normy later
Speaker 10: after eleven, which is going to be terrific. And I
Speaker 10: got such a shock on it. Van that out today.
Speaker 10: It came from because I did hear the interview that
Speaker 10: you both did a few months ago with her, and
Speaker 10: I just don't don't know's She's always been around and
Speaker 10: I'm sure normally will pay tribute to her between after
Speaker 10: eleven o'clock.
Speaker 4: I'm going to also I'm staying on to do Midnight
Speaker 4: to Dawn again filling in for Tony McManus. So I'm
Speaker 4: going to replay that interview at some point tomorrow wonderful,
Speaker 4: and I'll be joined by Gavin Wood at midnight as well.
Speaker 4: Love to talk about MARSI, Well, I'm going to talk
Speaker 4: about Loretta Switt.
Speaker 10: She played my major Margaret hot Lips Hulahan in mash
Speaker 10: for I think from nineteen seventy two to nineteen eighty three,
Speaker 10: and she only missed a couple of episodes. She was
Speaker 10: a stage actress and did things like Mame with Susan Haywood,
Speaker 10: and she played Gooch. And she also did one of
Speaker 10: the Pigeons sisters in the Odd Couple with Don Rickles
Speaker 10: and Ernest Borgnine, playing the Odd Couple that would have
Speaker 10: been in the stage black that would have been played Dad,
Speaker 10: and I would have loved that. So she did a
Speaker 10: lot of stage work before she got into television. She
Speaker 10: worked in a lot of different television shows over the years,
Speaker 10: and I thought she was lovely. So I did interview her.
Speaker 10: I think it's probably about ten years ago or something
Speaker 10: like that. And when the interview finished, we got talking
Speaker 10: and she did a show called ten six Dance Lessons
Speaker 10: in six weeks and she toured that through England through America,
Speaker 10: and she said, I'd love to bring that to Australia.
Speaker 10: Could you help me? So I got onto people like
Speaker 10: Dennis Smith and a few other producers, but I couldn't
Speaker 10: but any enthusiasm. So I said, I'm sorry, Loretta, I
Speaker 10: enthusiasm for Loretta's switch.
Speaker 4: Well you've done well. Yeah, well you've got to invest
Speaker 4: the money first. So then, but anyhow, that's what happened. Asked,
Speaker 4: are you would have put a cuff up some of
Speaker 4: the Owen's fortune that Andrew was talking about.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he might pawn the Owen's emeralds. Have you seen them?
Speaker 5: It's one of the greatest collections of emeralds in the world.
Speaker 5: They're famous in lily Dale.
Speaker 4: Oh, that would be marvelous if you could do all the.
Speaker 5: Lily Dale thrills to missus. Owen's going down the street
Speaker 5: for shopping with a little string bag of those emerald rings.
Speaker 4: That's exactly had Loretta.
Speaker 10: Switch won two Emmy Awards for Mash. Yes, and I
Speaker 10: love it. It's on Jim episodes. They've taken the episodes
Speaker 10: and they've blown them up on the big screen, so
Speaker 10: there's no lines on side and all that sort of
Speaker 10: the four four point three, the old format, and they
Speaker 10: look terrific. They's like us watching it all over again.
Speaker 4: I just love the show. It was a great show.
Speaker 4: I watched two clips today of Loretta as Margaret Yes
Speaker 4: on YouTube. I looked for my two favorite clips and
Speaker 4: I found them. The one where she has an argument
Speaker 4: with the nurses because they never invited her to anything,
Speaker 4: and she played that scene so beautifully. We have tears
Speaker 4: and a whole lot. And the other one when the
Speaker 4: dog dies and she loses it over that time. Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: great acting. She's fabulous. She was fabulous.
Speaker 10: Anyhow, I did speak to Lauta Switch about the closing
Speaker 10: or the ending of Mash in nineteen eighty three. Well,
Speaker 10: you won two Emmy Awards, which is a magnificent achievement.
Speaker 10: And that final episode watched by more than he They
Speaker 10: say more than one hundred and twenty million people, which
Speaker 10: is a massive viewing audience. And I believe you all
Speaker 10: went and watched the film of that over a party
Speaker 10: when it concluded.
Speaker 13: I'm trying to remember if we were actually seeing it together.
Speaker 13: We spent so much time together.
Speaker 18: We know some stuff that you as.
Speaker 13: An audience couldn't possibly know.
Speaker 15: But there was a raging.
Speaker 13: Fire over at where we were planning to shoot much
Speaker 13: of the much of the final episode, and so we
Speaker 13: had to rearrange our schedule. And in point of fact,
Speaker 13: when we wrapped, when we finished, we were wrapping a
Speaker 13: different show. We were not. We were not wrapping up
Speaker 13: on Goodbye, Farewell and Amen.
Speaker 18: So it was so you know, we we knew all that,
Speaker 18: but the weeks, the weeks before our imminent closing, we
Speaker 18: were always together.
Speaker 13: It was bittersweet.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they yeah, resting place. She was only eighty
Speaker 4: seven and dot at home, very sad. Anyone else, No,
Speaker 4: I've got no one else to mention now, but there
Speaker 4: was no I don't remember her. But there's a lady
Speaker 4: who's passed, who's been in a lot of TV shows,
Speaker 4: Valerie Mahaffey. Now I don't. I can't place her. Looking
Speaker 4: at a picture of her, she looks vaguely for me.
Speaker 5: She's a Desperate Housewives.
Speaker 4: I know that Desperate Housewives. She was in Young Sheldon,
Speaker 4: National Lampoon's Senior Trip Northern Exposure, which I loved, and
Speaker 4: I don't remember her in that and some other shows
Speaker 4: as well.
Speaker 5: But a good character actress, not really a star. No,
Speaker 5: I've got a lot of work as a character person.
Speaker 4: Yeah, fair enough, But yeah, I thought better mention her
Speaker 4: otherwise we'll get a text saying you didn't mention her.
Speaker 4: So there we go. All right?
Speaker 10: Have you seen any shows or anything? Keaven No, No,
Speaker 10: I've been fairly quiet on the Western front. I haven't
Speaker 10: seen any shows this week. I'm actually batching my wife
Speaker 10: and daughter overseas, so I'm very quietly at home watching
Speaker 10: a lot of football, watching foot.
Speaker 4: What are you eating? Oh?
Speaker 10: Food has been prepared. We've got to refrigerator full of
Speaker 10: frozen dinners which I hop into at a lovely one tonight,
Speaker 10: lamb and vegetables. It was beautiful and so yeah, I'm
Speaker 10: I'm okay. I think I'll survive. I'm a big boy. Now,
Speaker 10: have you changed your underpants? On a regular base.
Speaker 5: Yes, I have, thank you, Yes, because I know that
Speaker 5: your wife before she left said to me, she gave
Speaker 5: me a little text message, please ask.

Speaker 10: Mickey Rooney was in it. Everybody was in it. And
Speaker 10: it was in Cinerama, which is you know the plans
Speaker 10: a picture theater underneath the region down up there in
Speaker 10: the Colin Street. That was the Cinerama screen that operated there.
Speaker 10: So they only played it there and it was on
Speaker 10: for months and months and months and months. And all
Speaker 10: those Cinerama films were terrific because they had the three
Speaker 10: screen process with three projectors.
Speaker 4: There's massive screen. You felt like you were in the film.
Speaker 10: But this particular one, it's a mad, Mad, Mad Mad World,
Speaker 10: was a great comedy. And I spoke to Dorothy Provine.
Speaker 10: She played ethel Merman's daughter. Was She came to Australia
Speaker 10: in nineteen sixty one when Frank Sinatro as part of
Speaker 10: his tour. I only went to Sydney of course, but

Speaker 5: Yeah, she was in a TV series called something.
Speaker 10: Yes, it was called the Roaring Twenties, and she was pinky.
Speaker 10: She was pinky in that and she sang a song
Speaker 10: every week and she was marvelous.
Speaker 5: She was rather good. And that's why she was here
Speaker 5: with Frank. And that the only reason why she came
Speaker 5: out with Frank.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 10: They might have been out here to practice the limbo.
Speaker 10: I wasn't exactly sure. Judges, guests, celebrity judges. Yeah, so
Speaker 10: you could have should have kept that career up. Would
Speaker 10: much better than teaching.
Speaker 5: You just stopped talking about it.
Speaker 10: It still hurts, buddy, Okay, mate, I'm terribly sorry.
Speaker 4: He's right there, mate. You hit that bar rather hard.
Speaker 4: That's right. Okay. Well, here we are.
Speaker 10: I'm talking to Dorothy Provine about the film It's a Mad, Mad,
Speaker 10: Mad Mad Woolves in nineteen sixty three. You played opposite
Speaker 10: Milton Burle and ethel Merman. Ethel Merman played the mother
Speaker 10: from Hell, one of my favorite classic films. It's a Mad, Mad,
Speaker 10: Mad Mad World.
Speaker 4: You played the daughter, and I think Dick Sewan played.
Speaker 8: Your brother, Yes you did.
Speaker 5: Huh what was it?
Speaker 4: What were the memories of that one?
Speaker 22: Oh, chare absolute care for months wells of ally spared
Speaker 22: desert and uh for I don't I don't even remember
Speaker 22: how long. It was very hot and I'm not supposed
Speaker 22: to go out in the sun. I got such a
Speaker 22: palekin and everything that that was a problem. Uh, A
Speaker 22: bunch of mad people. Really I liked. I liked everyone.
Speaker 22: They were all funny. But they all would come to
Speaker 22: me and tell me how everybody else was doing something wrong,
Speaker 22: but they had it right. And I don't know why
Speaker 22: they came to me, but Milton would come, and you know,
Speaker 22: it was very strange. They were competitive, but then I
Speaker 22: must say a nice way. No one really got mad
Speaker 22: or angry or anything.
Speaker 4: But she was terrific, wasn't she.
Speaker 5: Very pretty girl? Yes, and I remember quite fondly, not
Speaker 5: that she was a huge star, but she she did
Speaker 5: make any admistration.
Speaker 10: Yes, And I reckon Ethel Murmur would have stirred up
Speaker 10: that cast because she was pretty tough, the Ethels she was.
Speaker 4: Yes, she was tough. Yes, absolutely quick Quiz time, Kevin
Speaker 4: quick quiz boys, Are you ready? Yes?
Speaker 10: Gun Smoke was a popular television series or western in
Speaker 10: nineteen sixty three. It starred James RNs as Marshall Matt Dillon.
Speaker 10: What was the name of the town where the series
Speaker 10: was set. Was it a Dodge City, B, Tombstone, C,
Speaker 10: Virginia City or D Santa Fe. Where was the series
Speaker 10: Gun Smoke sets in that town that they were throughout
Speaker 10: the whole series for about ten seasons or something.
Speaker 4: Well, I have no idea because I am too young
Speaker 4: to remember.
Speaker 5: I'm going to say Santa Fe. Be my guess, Santa Fe.
Speaker 5: I think it's that Western fielder like. I don't really
Speaker 5: know the answer at all. No, No, I saw the
Speaker 5: show a couple of times. It was about it.
Speaker 4: I watched it all.
Speaker 5: I know it was a hugely popular show.
Speaker 10: Mister that's remember, and mister Dillon, that's going to Delan.
Speaker 4: I'm leaning toward Tombstone. Tombstone could a sound sort of cartoony, and.
Speaker 7: I just I'm going to agree with Simon on Tombstone
Speaker 7: because I just think it's a great name in town
Speaker 7: and especially for a series like there was another TV series.
Speaker 5: Called Tombstone Territory of Moonstone Territory.
Speaker 4: Up back where I want to be.
Speaker 8: And that was it.
Speaker 5: So I don't think you're going to be right, because
Speaker 5: they wouldn't have to.
Speaker 10: Anything is possible in Hollywood.
Speaker 4: Well I'm going to leave it in Okay, all right,
Speaker 4: we already Ben and I are both going Tombstone, Andrews
Speaker 4: going Santa Fe.
Speaker 10: Okay, Well, it wasn't Virginia City, so that one was wrong. Sadly, Andrew,
Speaker 10: it wasn't Santa Fe. And Simon and Ben I had
Speaker 10: to break this news to you and it wasn't, so
Speaker 10: no one got it. It was Dodge City, Dodge City.
Speaker 10: A lot of things happened in Dodge see that's right.
Speaker 5: And later on, of course it became famous for making cars.
Speaker 10: Yes, of course, as you do.
Speaker 4: Wonderful Now television should we get into television? In nineteen
Speaker 4: sixty three?
Speaker 10: On TV in nineteen sixty three, we were watching the
Speaker 10: Danny Thomas Show, which was originally Make Room for Daddy,
Speaker 10: and then they changed the title and then they changed
Speaker 10: the cast and it was on ABC Television and it
Speaker 10: starred Danny Thomas, so they called it the Danny Thomas Show.
Speaker 4: The new series Smart Move. It was hard to write
Speaker 4: out the lead actor.
Speaker 10: Then, yeah, I was all filmed in black and white,
Speaker 10: and he made a deal with Desilu's Studios to film
Speaker 10: it there, which was the same studio as they used
Speaker 10: for I Love Lucy with the three cameras and terrific filming.
Speaker 10: Marjorie Lawrence was Marjorie Lawrence, Marjorie Lord. Yeah, Marjorie Lord
Speaker 10: was the one who played the wife in the show,
Speaker 10: or Danny's wife.
Speaker 4: Yes, and Marjorie Lord.
Speaker 10: Died around about twenty fifteen at the age of ninety seven,
Speaker 10: but prior to that I spoke to her this.
Speaker 5: Little difficulty Thomas.
Speaker 24: Here it is darring Danny Thomas, also starring Marjorie Orne
Speaker 24: and his wife, Rusty Hammer and their son, and John Cartwright.
Speaker 8: As their daughter.
Speaker 10: Well, you mentioned some of the guests you had on
Speaker 10: that program, Marjorie, and I'd just like to touch on
Speaker 10: a couple like Lucille Ball and desion Is.
Speaker 4: You had a lot.
Speaker 10: Well, you appeared on their show and there was quite
Speaker 10: a bit of interaction with those two. And one are
Speaker 10: your memories of Lucille Ball and.
Speaker 4: Desion Is Well.
Speaker 25: I wrote about that a little bit in my book,
Speaker 25: and Dassy was quite brilliant and people didn't realize that
Speaker 25: he really ran that Desilu studio, and I was impressed
Speaker 25: in when he would rehearse the scene the first time,
Speaker 25: he had quite an accent, but he never had to
Speaker 25: repeat it, and he'd come back to do a second rehearsal.
Speaker 25: He'd know all the lines. He never looked at the script.
Speaker 25: Lucy was the opposite. She wanted to rehearse and rehears
Speaker 25: and rehearse, and we did. She liked to go over things,
Speaker 25: but she was brilliant. She knew where every camera and
Speaker 25: where the house would be lit, and how to move
Speaker 25: and when she was with it, Daddy, you know, kind
Speaker 25: of let her make all the decisions she wanted to make.
Speaker 25: Lucy was quite serious in her personal life. She could
Speaker 25: be so funny, but sometimes she'd be very open and friendly,
Speaker 25: and other times she seemed to be preoccupied. But she
Speaker 25: was a great.
Speaker 4: Artist, wonderful.
Speaker 10: I loved Lucia Bull. I thought she was terrific. Yeah,
Speaker 10: she could have mailed a little bit of a problem.
Speaker 5: I was going to say, Mattrey Lord wasn't obviously that
Speaker 5: fond of her.
Speaker 10: Oh you didn't feel that from that?
Speaker 5: She said, No, I wasn't getting a gush of emotion.
Speaker 5: The positive emotion about.
Speaker 10: Him was I no, No, that's true, that's true.
Speaker 5: Anyway we move on, Yes, yes, that's okay.
Speaker 10: Yes, And who remembers Alan Rowe? And Kimbo was Kimba.
Speaker 10: Kimba was the white Lion.
Speaker 5: Oh, yes, you get things a little bit, sup.
Speaker 10: Was the contributions appreciated?

Speaker 4: Yes, and your uncle comp.
Speaker 5: That was funny when Jeff Core competed, because he did
Speaker 5: it for adults, it was felt he was actually playing tonight.
Speaker 5: He was doing it for eight year olds. But the
Speaker 5: way he was speaking was really as a man who
Speaker 5: would be comparing imt Yes, it was very funny that way.
Speaker 4: Well, Elean Roe did a lot of acting.
Speaker 5: He was I'm sorry, Oh no, that's fine, I've reached
Speaker 5: the end of the tether.

Speaker 5: I not really. I wish I could say yes, but
Speaker 5: I can't. You were in Victoria, Yes I was. I didn't.
Speaker 5: I didn't watch the Tarik Show, just never seeing Jeff
Speaker 5: Cork occasionally. I don't know. I was a little too
Speaker 5: sophisticated for you, Kevin everything.
Speaker 10: I watched the test bat and I never missed anything.
Speaker 4: A five year old Andrew would have been watching four
Speaker 4: Corners on the ABC or something like that.
Speaker 5: Was sitting back in a smoking jacket, you know, with
Speaker 5: watching Noel Coward plays.
Speaker 4: Reading the Financial Review that's right, yeah, disgusting the equities
Speaker 4: of the world. Okay, checking out his share portfolio, right,
Speaker 4: that's but it was good thought, that was really good. Good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, should we take a break.
Speaker 4: I think. So we're in Trask's time tunnel and we're
Speaker 4: about to look at the shows of nineteen sixty three.
Speaker 10: Well, there's a new book out on Lee Gordon, who
Speaker 10: was the American producer who bought the Big Stars to Australia,
Speaker 10: and it's called Lee Gordon Presents by Jeff Apter and
Speaker 10: it's available in all Good books shops. Pete Smith told
Speaker 10: me about this book and I'm going to have to
Speaker 10: get a copy of it because I'm fascinated with all
Speaker 10: that because I was at all those shows. Yes, straight
Speaker 10: after the Tarak show, I'd go straight down the Festival Hall,
Speaker 10: get your tickets. Tickets.
Speaker 4: He's going to be our guest on Sunday, the sixth
Speaker 4: of July. I remember when to talk about the book.
Speaker 5: Oh marvelous.
Speaker 10: Oh that's true. I'm thrilled to bits to hear that.
Speaker 10: And of course the Lee Gordon Big Shows was where
Speaker 10: Johnny O'Keeffe got his break and became famous. And I
Speaker 10: spoke to Pee Weee Wilson from the Delltones about Johnny O'Keeffe.
Speaker 28: I'm ever since we met Darling, I've been keeping school.
Speaker 10: Well, it was a fabulous hero when you when you
Speaker 10: did those League Wooden shows. I can still see the
Speaker 10: Dell Tones and Johnny o'keeff on stage in my memory.
Speaker 10: But what are your memories of working with Johnny o'kings.
Speaker 20: Well, he was a most interesting character of because as
Speaker 20: we're in hindsight we look back on his on his
Speaker 20: relatively short career in the sense that he truly was
Speaker 20: a dynamic performer and there was something that all of
Speaker 20: us in the in the up and coming artists in
Speaker 20: that early period, we're we're looking towards Johnny Keith as
Speaker 20: a mentor and certainly he had a natural stagecraft. We
Speaker 20: never ever viewed him as being one of the great
Speaker 20: singers of of of the business, but certainly had all
Speaker 20: other aspects going. And of course the one thing that
Speaker 20: we all admired abou about him most was it was
Speaker 20: his commitment to the business.
Speaker 4: I love pee Weee Wilson just adore me too. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I think it's terrific. That was a great interview you
Speaker 4: did with him a couple of months ago, or maybe
Speaker 4: it was last year. I think it was late last year.
Speaker 4: We'll have to get him on again. Here you will,
Speaker 4: because he's full of stories and he's terrific.
Speaker 5: Who tired in nineteen sixty three?
Speaker 10: Cave quite a few, Sabo said on top of the Elephants, Oh,
Speaker 10: the movies, movies, Zazu, Pits, Dick Powell, and Patsy Cline.
Speaker 10: Patsy Cline was killed in a plane crash in nineteen
Speaker 10: sixty three. She was at the peak of her career.
Speaker 10: She was a country singer. She had a lot of hits.
Speaker 10: She had a twang in her voice.
Speaker 5: And a sober voice.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and I thought she was terrific. And I love
Speaker 10: this song by Patsy Cline.
Speaker 4: Crazy crazy.
Speaker 5: I am crazy for feeling.
Speaker 3: Slowly, I'm crazy.
Speaker 9: Crazy for feling.
Speaker 3: So I lo, you love me as love as you Barty,
Speaker 3: and then some day.
Speaker 5: You leave me for somebody.
Speaker 1: Worry?
Speaker 3: Why do I let myself worry?
Speaker 8: Wonder?
Speaker 3: What in the world did.
Speaker 5: Wonderful sounded the letters?
Speaker 4: Don't you love the backing chorus there? Yeah, fantastic, Sorry Andrew,
Speaker 4: what you're saying?
Speaker 5: No, no, just what I just should mention too in
Speaker 5: passing that when the plane crashed into the mountain, two
Speaker 5: other great country stars died in the plane with the
Speaker 5: hawkshaw Hawkins and cowboy capes.
Speaker 4: I didn't know that.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, there were three of them lost to us
Speaker 5: that day. All right, mystery voice, this is the most
Speaker 5: challenging part for you.
Speaker 4: Really, I know you're worry about this from you.
Speaker 5: Know it starts on a Sunday morning.
Speaker 4: Oh no, it's coming on the chills, get you.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: What I love though, is the suspense that envelops Andrew
Speaker 4: and it consumes him. Well, we take a break before
Speaker 4: we get to it. It's mystery voice time. As Andrew
Speaker 4: was discussing just prior to the break, Kevin Trask is
Speaker 4: going to play us a mystery voice. We're going to
Speaker 4: try and guess who it is, and we want you
Speaker 4: to do the same. But you answer by texting your
Speaker 4: answer to us. Zero four double seven six nine three
Speaker 4: six nine three is the number for you to text Kevin.
Speaker 8: Is do we have a clue?
Speaker 4: Do we have a clue? It's a male. The boys
Speaker 4: watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who
Speaker 4: watched the.
Speaker 5: Girls go by.
Speaker 16: Less all of it could be able to make this sing,

Speaker 4: music to watch Girls go By.
Speaker 5: It was a hit as a vocal and as an
Speaker 5: instrumental from memory.
Speaker 4: Okay, is it that's your answer?
Speaker 15: No?
Speaker 5: Andy Williams had the hit version of it as a
Speaker 5: vocal obviously, but who that is? I have no idea.
Speaker 4: Is it an Australian? Yes it is.
Speaker 10: Oh, that's a very Your first question was a zinger.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's that's the first thing I thought I
Speaker 4: would have got that. It sounded like an ausy singing
Speaker 4: to me.
Speaker 5: Is he more known as a singer or was he
Speaker 5: known as a singer? Yes, Ben anything something.
Speaker 4: Still hard for Ben. It's nineteen sixty three. Known as
Speaker 4: a singer, but all other methods of entertainment. Was he
Speaker 4: an actor as well? Not an actor? Not an actor?
Speaker 4: A television host not a television host, radio host.

Speaker 10: songs of Dorothy's off the real real tape and on
Speaker 10: Hare's Grantly D another.
Speaker 4: Ah, that's one.
Speaker 10: It's a great mystery. And yeah, that is incredible.
Speaker 4: Well you picked that well, it was lucky in the clues,
Speaker 4: like to narrow it down to somebody who's known for singing, Yes,
Speaker 4: but also a radio a good guy, because I was
Speaker 4: going to go Stan Rowe, Yes. I was just trying
Speaker 4: to think of anyone from the sixties. I could think
Speaker 4: of Alan Lappin. I was just going to throw out
Speaker 4: any name until I got them. What was Grantly to
Speaker 4: his big hit? That money had their the Little Girl Dan, She's.
Speaker 5: Something like that. I just can't remember it now. That's it.

Speaker 5: was a great hit for him, and he was just
Speaker 5: to explain to people who don't know. Of course, he
Speaker 5: was not cited, Yes, exactly, and he had quite a
Speaker 5: career as the radio career and the singing career.
Speaker 4: I think I was totally blind, wasn't he?
Speaker 20: Yeah?
Speaker 4: It was terrific. It was really good.
Speaker 10: How did the listeners go? Did anybody out there in
Speaker 10: listening land get this?
Speaker 4: Well, we've had quite a few. Someone suggested, Mark Trevarro,
Speaker 4: It does sound like Mark Travarro doing a parody a
Speaker 4: type thing above down type thing. Jerry Seinfeld, Barry Crocker,
Speaker 4: Don Nott's, Jimmy Hannon all good, guess yes, But the
Speaker 4: first one to correctly guess was Sue of Q, who
Speaker 4: correctly guests grandly, so well done, so well done, excellent.
Speaker 4: That was really good. Yeah, yeah, very happy with that.
Speaker 4: So am I all right? We've got a minute to

Speaker 10: of Space, which is on Foxtelle or Max whatever it's called.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Richard Carlson, and it's terrific.

Speaker 10: with it.
Speaker 5: It's really really a space monster alien movie.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it came from out of space.
Speaker 5: Did Richard Carson ever make an A grade movie? I
Speaker 5: know everything he made at titles.
Speaker 10: Like that, and I discovered something. I say this very quickly.
Speaker 10: I thought it was in The Creature from Black Lagoon.
Speaker 10: But at the Grand in Cobourg, there's a scene in
Speaker 10: a film where the Richard Carlson standing on screen and
Speaker 10: somebody puts their hand out from the left hand side
Speaker 10: of screen and taps him on the shoulder, and we
Speaker 10: all went, well, it was in It came from out
Speaker 10: of space. And I jumped up on the couch. Took
Speaker 10: me right back.

Speaker 5: in the house. I am, I am, I am, but
Speaker 5: it's a bit of a scaredy cat.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I've got the dog to protect me.
Speaker 4: With the light on the fridge open.
Speaker 10: It's all Missy Birds came out of nineteen sixty three,
Speaker 10: the Alfred Hitchcock film with Tippy Hedron. Was it Tippy Hedron?
Speaker 10: And we had Rod Tayler, Jessica Tandy you or big cast.
Speaker 10: It was a terrific movie, as most of Hitchcock's films
Speaker 10: were scary. But I spoke to Tippy Hedron about the birds.
Speaker 10: I'd like to go to the scene in the attic
Speaker 10: where they threw all those birds at you when.
Speaker 19: You well, I don't ever want to go there.
Speaker 4: I bet you don't.
Speaker 10: But that was pretty traumatic for a first film.
Speaker 4: To be in a scene like that, you know what?
Speaker 19: What you know? When I when I was reading the script,
Speaker 19: I said, you know how how I couldn't ask? I mean,
Speaker 19: how are you going to do this scene? And he said, oh,
Speaker 19: don't worry, We're going to use mechanical birds. Fine, no problem.
Speaker 19: Actually it was a very kind thing he did. However,
Speaker 19: there was no intention of using mechanical birds, and I
Speaker 19: didn't know about the real ones until the morning we
Speaker 19: were to start filming that scene. And I walked out
Speaker 19: onto the set and there was a cage built around
Speaker 19: that door that I walk in, with three huge boxes
Speaker 19: of ravens and seagulls and a few pigeons thrown in
Speaker 19: and and there were three pop men who had great
Speaker 19: big gauntlets up to their shoulders and which they alternately
Speaker 19: started hurling at me. And it took five days to
Speaker 19: do that scene.
Speaker 4: Were you very brave to be?
Speaker 19: That's all I can say, Gray, That's what That's what
Speaker 19: Carrie Grant said. He came on Wednesday and he said,
Speaker 19: you're I think you're the bravest lady I've ever met,
Speaker 19: and I don't and I don't know if that's the.
Speaker 25: Word for it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, wonderful, good story. Now we've got to get to
Speaker 4: a break so we can come back with the popular
Speaker 4: songs of sixty three.

Speaker 5: had the electric blanket on a few times. Yes, switched
Speaker 5: on last week. I think for the first time for
Speaker 5: this year, we've got a power packed rather sad hour. Unfortunately,
Speaker 5: because in case you haven't heard, the great late singer
Speaker 5: Melbourne singer, so many dancers, so many TV appearances, Marcy
Speaker 5: Jones of Marsi and the cookies and all the other
Speaker 5: things she's manifested herself in passed away last night. I'm
Speaker 5: right out, Yes, I believe it was yesterday. Yes, And
Speaker 5: a great friend of hers, a great booster and mentor
Speaker 5: of Marsy's, Normy Row, wanted to pay tribute, and we'll
Speaker 5: be doing so very shortly on this station and also
Speaker 5: later on the Morven Purpose and happy and note will
Speaker 5: be with us with his quick with the quick quiz
Speaker 5: is quick quiz, and of course your calls will get
Speaker 5: those all in.
Speaker 4: But we've also got this too, the montage. We'll get
Speaker 4: this out of the way very quickly here. So what
Speaker 4: we want you to do is take part in this.
Speaker 4: We're going to play a montage of songs. Each of
Speaker 4: these songs. Excuse me, I get emotional talking about at
Speaker 4: the montage. Each of these songs were a hit in
Speaker 4: the charts in one particular year. They were all collectively
Speaker 4: hits in one particular year. We don't ask the year
Speaker 4: the songs were released, because some of them will have
Speaker 4: been released the year before. But once you know what
Speaker 4: year all of these songs were together in the charts,
Speaker 4: shoot us a text on zero four double seven six
Speaker 4: nine three six nine three, and we'll read out the
Speaker 4: first ten who correctly guess.

Speaker 4: When what a great song. Models. We spoke to Kate
Speaker 4: Sobrano earlier, we.
Speaker 5: Did today, and what a pleasure it was to speak
Speaker 5: to it.
Speaker 4: Who did vocals with them? With Models? I was going
Speaker 4: to say the Models, But the band was called Models.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's right. That became a bit piss at one point,
Speaker 5: didn't it. You've never had bands called I mean, in
Speaker 5: the fifties and sixties it was the Beatles, the Stones
Speaker 5: and the Diamonds. Whatever. Look, I tell you, by the
Speaker 5: time we get to the seventies and eighties, just one
Speaker 5: word for the band.
Speaker 4: I keep a list of talkback topics and I've got
Speaker 4: a particular sub section of music later talkback topics. I'm
Speaker 4: going to add I might do it. I might do
Speaker 4: it in mid dawns. So bands with.
Speaker 5: The in the title, it'll go on all night? Fair enough.
Speaker 4: Anyway, So do you want to have a stab Andrew
Speaker 4: at what?
Speaker 19: You know?
Speaker 5: It's eighties and I've got the mid eighties eighty four,
Speaker 5: five or six?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, butt in the middle eighty five is exactly right.
Speaker 4: Well done to you.
Speaker 5: Where the world was the giveaway?
Speaker 4: It is a bit, isn't it?
Speaker 27: Yeah?
Speaker 10: That?
Speaker 4: And do they know it's Christmas? Both of them in
Speaker 4: that one? Yeah, one inspired the other. Ashley if East
Speaker 4: Doncaster was first to correctly guess well done. Susie of
Speaker 4: karen Beach was second, Andrew of Dandy, Noong, Rachel and Kilmore.
Speaker 4: All the regulars are here, Michael in Sorrento, Rob of Richmond,
Speaker 4: Chris in Adelaide, Goico of Mount Waverley, John of Packenham
Speaker 4: and Pierre from Seaford. Well done to the you guys.
Speaker 4: You were the first ten out of dozens upon dozens
Speaker 4: who correctly guess night.
Speaker 5: And of course we know because a listeners and Uncle
Speaker 5: Andy and Uncle Simon know that you haven't cheated and
Speaker 5: gone to your Google machinery, no to established that.
Speaker 4: Year, and you haven't. You haven't made lists of of
Speaker 4: of what all the montages are that because this is
Speaker 4: the third time round we've done the montages.
Speaker 5: I think you've got to change the montages. Well, I
Speaker 5: think there's got to be another. I've got an idea
Speaker 5: or one or two ideas about that.
Speaker 4: No not, We'll have a production meeting.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, midnight. I can't wait.
Speaker 4: I'll let the boss now, I'll get beers in. All right,
Speaker 4: now a break? And then, as Andrew mentioned at the
Speaker 4: top of the are very sadly we have lost a
Speaker 4: great a great performer, and another great performer will be
Speaker 4: paying tribute after this.
Speaker 5: It's nineteen past eleven on Remember when a bit of
Speaker 5: a sad time for us to light a year, Remember
Speaker 5: when some particularly those listening of course in Melbourne, because
Speaker 5: we lost Marcy Jones just last night, and she was
Speaker 5: so much a part of the Melbourne music scene for
Speaker 5: so many years with Marsy and the Cookies, and of
Speaker 5: course as a solo actually tour overseas. She's sang on
Speaker 5: just about every TV show and one of her great mentors,
Speaker 5: and one of her great friends along the journey was
Speaker 5: a man we speak to next normally wrote, very good evening,
Speaker 5: and thank you for making time normally a very emotional
Speaker 5: time for you.
Speaker 15: Thanks for mass fellows. It's I wish I could say
Speaker 15: it was a pleasure. It's just such a and to
Speaker 15: talk to you guys as always is. But you know,
Speaker 15: I wish none of us had to deal with these
Speaker 15: sorts of situations. It's a bit heartbreaking, I guess to
Speaker 15: all of us.
Speaker 4: It is, of course, but especially to you normal because
Speaker 4: it's not not like you guys met up in your
Speaker 4: fifties or something and developed a friendship and a reunion
Speaker 4: console or something. How long How long ago did you
Speaker 4: actually meet Marcy for the first time.
Speaker 15: Well, I'm seventy eight and I think I was fourteen
Speaker 15: when I first met mars. Yeah, she at that stage
Speaker 15: was singing at Preston Town Hall and I, or a
Speaker 15: couple of couple of years earlier, I started singing there
Speaker 15: and with our paths crossed, and then she recorded for
Speaker 15: Sunshine Records before the Playboys and me. She recorded a
Speaker 15: song called Quiet, a really nice song, but unfortunately it
Speaker 15: didn't quite make it and then when we had it
Speaker 15: an't necessarily so we went on tour, but we we
Speaker 15: Marcy and I suppose a few other singers around at
Speaker 15: the same time were singing regularly advances together in Melbourne,
Speaker 15: but the package was generally norm Ro Marcy Jones and
Speaker 15: the Playboys, so it was a nice, rounded, rounded off package.
Speaker 15: And we played every town with a population of more
Speaker 15: than two thousand, and some with populations of less, and well,
Speaker 15: I think at the time Charlton in Central Victoria only
Speaker 15: had only had a population of a thousand. We got
Speaker 15: six hundred kids in me.
Speaker 30: Marvelous so and Marcy.
Speaker 15: Marcy was really really funny. The girls will be crawling
Speaker 15: out for me and for Peter Doyle, who was also
Speaker 15: gaining some traction funnily, and the kids, the girls were
Speaker 15: all crawling out for us. And she'd stand up and say,
Speaker 15: now listen, girls, now listen. I'm on first and I'm
Speaker 15: going to sing all of my songs and you're not
Speaker 15: going to see these boys until I've finished, so you
Speaker 15: might as well just put up with it with me.
Speaker 17: And she had that.
Speaker 15: Sort of powerful presence right from that time on, and
Speaker 15: in fact, only two weeks ago I had the lovely
Speaker 15: experience of interviewing Mass and the go set lunch that
Speaker 15: we have on the Gold Coast once a month, and
Speaker 15: she was the person of interest, if you like, and
Speaker 15: a lot of people said it was the funniest and
Speaker 15: the most entertaining interview that that they'd seen at that
Speaker 15: function ever, And I guess it was because I knew
Speaker 15: all her backstories, and when she went on to the
Speaker 15: ones that couldn't mention, I just kept changing the subject, nor.
Speaker 5: Meal I don't. It's not a not a secret. You
Speaker 5: were in a relationship with Marsia at one particular point,
Speaker 5: and it was at that time you were called up
Speaker 5: and went to Vietnam, wasn't it.
Speaker 15: Yeah, that's right. In fact that stage we were engaged,
Speaker 15: we were going to get married. I went off to Vietnam,
Speaker 15: she went off to England, and I guess we sort
Speaker 15: of drifted apart during that period of time, but we
Speaker 15: stayed friends full life. I saw her in the hospital
Speaker 15: last week, and it was in fact last Sunday, and
Speaker 15: we just thought that, well, what she's dealing with is
Speaker 15: pretty pretty hard. At that stage, she hadn't been diagnosed
Speaker 15: with the leukemia, which eventually I guess took a life.
Speaker 5: But she.
Speaker 15: Was in good spirits, nevertheless obviously not feeling very well.
Speaker 15: And it was quite a It was quite a shock
Speaker 15: when Murray phoned me last night and said, Marcy has
Speaker 15: just left the building. And really, for an entertainer to
Speaker 15: be masters just leaving the building, I think that's the
Speaker 15: way that all of any of us have trod the boards,
Speaker 15: as it were.
Speaker 26: Would like to.
Speaker 15: Say, you know, our last farewell's.
Speaker 4: It is a beautiful expression, isn't it In terms of
Speaker 4: entertainers when they pass that, it's very fitting.
Speaker 20: Yeah.
Speaker 15: And Mass, you know, they sail like you know, you
Speaker 15: put your hand in a bucket of water. When you
Speaker 15: pull it out, what's left? Well, I think if you
Speaker 15: if you put Mass in a bucket of water, it
Speaker 15: pulled it out, you leave it a dirty, big hole
Speaker 15: that would never ever be filled. Her personality was much
Speaker 15: greater than the sum of of all the different parts
Speaker 15: she was.
Speaker 5: She lit up the room normally. How much family? What
Speaker 5: family did she have? I'm not that familiar with her
Speaker 5: personal life, No.
Speaker 6: She was.
Speaker 15: She was an only child of George and Wynny. She
Speaker 15: grew up just at the bottom of the Station Street
Speaker 15: in box Hill, where Station Street and Intersex with tram
Speaker 15: road and just it's now the next house along from
Speaker 15: the freeway, and it was built by George. He was
Speaker 15: a builder and he was a lovely gentleman and Wynn
Speaker 15: was a sweet lady, you know. And I think they
Speaker 15: were able to give Marcel the opportunities that she wanted,
Speaker 15: and the big opportunity for her was to be a singer.
Speaker 15: That's what she wanted, and she learned very well. She
Speaker 15: was a very fine singer, and later in later years
Speaker 15: she became a very good songwriter as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, very musically talented. I only well as a kid.
Speaker 5: I only knew as a singing the latest pop songs.
Speaker 5: But I didn't realize she had a great ballad voice
Speaker 5: as well too.
Speaker 15: Normally, yeah, oh yeah, she could sing any of the
Speaker 15: big ballads of the day, from Silly Black and and
Speaker 15: Dusty Springfield and Dian Warwick. She would do all of
Speaker 15: those songs. But I found a song by Patti LaBelle
Speaker 15: when I was in England, a version of Somewhere Over
Speaker 15: the Rainbow, which made the hair stand up on the
Speaker 15: back of my neck, and I sent it to her
Speaker 15: and I said, haven't listened to this? I think you
Speaker 15: and the girls should you could do a fantastic version
Speaker 15: of it, And of course they did, and they actually met.
Speaker 15: They were on a bill with Patti LaBelle and the
Speaker 15: Bluebells and they were talking about the song, and I think,
Speaker 15: as far as I can remember, they I think Patti
Speaker 15: Labella actually heard Marcy sing this arrangement and gave them,
Speaker 15: gave the girls a wonderful compliment. But it wasn't just
Speaker 15: Patti LaBelle. She toured with Cliff Richard extensively. She toured
Speaker 15: with Jean Pitney, and of course most of the time
Speaker 15: with the Cookies, who were a very fine sister trio.
Speaker 15: And you know, in history, one of the great shames,
Speaker 15: I suppose, is that they never really had a big
Speaker 15: number one record, because I think that would have been
Speaker 15: the duel in the Crown for them.
Speaker 4: You mentioned the Cookies, Beverly, Margaret, and Wendy. Have you
Speaker 4: spoken to any of them in the last forty eight
Speaker 4: hours or Yeah.
Speaker 15: I spoke to Maggie not long after I heard from Murray,
Speaker 15: and she already had she'd heard from Murray and she
Speaker 15: was passing it on to the girls. Of course, you know,
Speaker 15: it went around like wildfire. I mean, I don't know
Speaker 15: where too many people know. But we've got this sort
Speaker 15: of it's almost like a fan that get together every
Speaker 15: Thursday night at a suburban hotel and every time I'm
Speaker 15: in Melbourne, I go to this dinner where we go
Speaker 15: and have a lovely dinner in a hotel restaurant and
Speaker 15: we talk about what we're doing today, what we're going
Speaker 15: to be doing tomorrow, but moreover, what we what we've
Speaker 15: done in the past, and any of the the incant
Speaker 15: instances that we might have missed of each other's life.
Speaker 15: So we were right, okay, it's sort of it's it's
Speaker 15: like a family.
Speaker 5: This is the people those artists involved with the Go
Speaker 5: Show and TV like that that you're talking about normally.
Speaker 15: Are you, yes, and people from people musicians. Quite often
Speaker 15: we see the original members of the Playboys, and there
Speaker 15: are a number of other I mean, last week, cash
Speaker 15: Back cash Backman arrived at this dinner just out of
Speaker 15: the blue. That was lovely, and we see a number
Speaker 15: of a number of singers pop in and it's open
Speaker 15: to anybody who's in the business to come along, but
Speaker 15: we like it to be the people we know most
Speaker 15: of all, we've traveled our life with, you know, so
Speaker 15: it's good to have that wonderful personal connection with people
Speaker 15: who have shared the sort of things that we've shared.
Speaker 4: Well, the next one will no doubt be a more
Speaker 4: somber occasion, I would think.
Speaker 15: I'm sure it will be, but I think there will
Speaker 15: be a lot of very funny stories. You know, Marty
Speaker 15: was never short of giving advice.
Speaker 5: Oh how very diplomatic.
Speaker 15: And her favorite line is you know what you should do?
Speaker 15: And I go, oh, no, here we go again, bloody.
Speaker 8: Hell uh.
Speaker 5: It's a wonderful character. We had the pleasure of interviewing her.
Speaker 5: How long ago was it, Simon?
Speaker 4: That was the first week of March, so only three
Speaker 4: months ago.
Speaker 20: Now.
Speaker 5: It just brought us about that, and you and I
Speaker 5: at the end of the interview said, what a character,
Speaker 5: isn't she wonderful? Yeah, neither of I know if she
Speaker 5: never met her, I haven't ever said on TV the
Speaker 5: same with you, Simon.
Speaker 4: Now I've met the cookies, but I haven't met Mars.
Speaker 5: And that's funny. Yes, it's a releasure.
Speaker 15: I really think she's the only woman I've ever known
Speaker 15: to be able to kick start a space shuttle.
Speaker 5: Well said, I think we almost to go out on
Speaker 5: that Norman Row. Thank you very much for a very
Speaker 5: emotional time, for your a very sad time making some
Speaker 5: time available. As I said earlier, but it is appreciated.
Speaker 15: Thank you very much for helping Melbourne remember a very
Speaker 15: foreign lady.
Speaker 4: Good on you nor me. That's Normy Roe.
Speaker 8: Where Mark.
Speaker 19: Left that.
Speaker 4: Scary half an hour? An hour for your calls? One
Speaker 4: double three six ninety three anything you want to chat about?
Speaker 4: Did you ever go and see Marcy and the Cookies live?
Speaker 5: I did once at a pub. Yes, well I didn't,
Speaker 5: to be honest, I didn't specially go along because I
Speaker 5: was with a group of people. They wanted to go
Speaker 5: along and any it was great. Did a great cabaret
Speaker 5: night somewhere. I can't remember you you forget there're all
Speaker 5: beer Barnes one of those sort of places you know,
Speaker 5: were long tables with drugs down them.

Speaker 5: She was just heart and soul into every song.
Speaker 4: I saw her at Caper's and she was fabulous. Yeah,
Speaker 4: great show, intimate venue it was, but so she was
Speaker 4: like six ft away from me and she was just magnificent.
Speaker 5: That was that place in Hawthorne, wasn't.
Speaker 4: It on the corner on Little Street on the other street.
Speaker 5: That's right, no parking whatsoever. You had to pink about
Speaker 5: three miles away. But it was a good little venue
Speaker 5: and as you said, you got up close and personal. Yeah,
Speaker 5: with the singers. Yes, I saw someone there. Oh I
Speaker 5: was that girl who used to back Johnny Farnham. She
Speaker 5: used to sing behind Johnny Farnham. Vanita Field, No, the

Speaker 17: Kate Brano. Did you know father is too famous karate instructor?

Speaker 17: But I'll get to are you doing bands with being
Speaker 17: the front or anywhere? It's got to be the fun.

Speaker 4: to it.
Speaker 17: All right. Sorry I didn't know I didn't realise that.
