Could 11 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 2: you have ever believed this? 12 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: I guess I could. I guess I could have. You know, 13 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: I just start starting music to sort of do the 14 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,919 Speaker 1: best you can. It is actually exactly fifty years since 15 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: I've played my very first, very first time I played 16 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: in public. Was it Hobart a folk club in Salamka Place, Hobart? 17 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: Did they love you seventy four? I don't think so. 18 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: I played an old Australian folk song called Streets of 19 00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: Forbes and a Bob Hillains song Girl from the North Country, 20 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: and I was so nervous. I had quite a lot 21 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: to drink afterwards in relief, and my friend was there, 22 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: had to help me home. 23 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 2: That's that's a beautiful memory. 24 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 1: Beautiful memory. But look at you now. 25 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 3: The song Who's going to Make the Gravy has now 26 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 3: inspired a Netflix series. 27 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: Did you have anything to do with that? Just sort of, 28 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: I guess lightly. My friend Megan Washington first approached me 29 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: about you making it into a script, and her husband, 30 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: Nick Waterman's the director, and they wrote the film and 31 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: then I have made it, and it was always understood 32 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,839 Speaker 1: from the start that it was their piece of work, 33 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: not mine. But they were using the song as a 34 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: jumping off point and off they went, made their script, 35 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: got the film made or within you know, two or 36 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: three years, which is pretty pretty quick for making a movie, 37 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: and they've done a really good job. But yeah, I 38 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: didn't really. I didn't want to be hovering over it 39 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: or controlling the script. They were nice enough to send 40 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: me this and ask if I had any thoughts. So 41 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: I think you might two bobs worth here and there, 42 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: but really was fairly. 43 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 2: You couldn't play the lead hand you insisted. 44 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: No, said give me the left. They honored the song 45 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: very much, to all the details. They've got the gravy 46 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: recipe exactly is in the song. 47 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 2: Is that your family recipe? 48 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 1: It is a an old family recipe. Yeah, and did 49 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: you make that every year? Most years we're not. We 50 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: don't always have a hot crisp hot roast.
