Speaker 1: What is the song? Come Said the Boy by Monto Rock. Okay,

6
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: I'm scared that that was rather controversial when it came out,

7
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: wasn't there? You go all tell us the story. Then

8
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: we're talking about six to November nineteen eighty three. We

9
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: had a fundraiser because I was in the team for

10
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: the Vision I Bed and Blind National Games in Melbourne. Okay,

11
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: So we went along to a breakfast pool party thing

12
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: to raise money and there was beautiful looking young woman

13
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: there and she told me that she was turning eighteen

14
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: on the Thursday, which was in the coming week, and

15
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: I went, okay, I a good opportunity. I'll send the flowers.

16
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,800

17
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: she doesn't respond, that's all right, I'll probably never see

18
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: her again. Got home from training at Ferry Lake's on

19
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,160
