I've 19 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 2: done a few things in Queen Street Mall. Were you 20 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 2: not bad for a work capacity outside broadcasts and stuff? 21 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: And you get a lot of like, hey man, what's 22 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: going on? 23 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 3: Anytime you film in an outdoor setting or a public setting, 24 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 3: that's what you're in for. You're really in for that. 25 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 3: I've had to step up and be security a couple 26 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 3: of times. I haven't tell people to rack. 27 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: Off worse than the moist Twisties incident. 28 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 3: They were all very pleasant to the people who gave 29 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 3: me some twisties to eat that. I don't know why. 30 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: Why they were we howd a twisties get wet? 31 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. But that's the great 32 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 3: leveler is that everyone doesn't you know, Not everyone's musical, 33 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 3: not everyone plays the piano, but everybody has a story, 34 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 3: so it could be anyone. And the length and breadth 35 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 3: of humanity, once again on the show last night, was 36 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 3: quite extraordinary. It's start by talking about Willow. She is 37 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 3: a young woman in her early twenties, beautiful looking girl. 38 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 3: She came up and she had an unusual kind of walk. 39 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 3: Her mum was standing beside her. I thought, something's going 40 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 3: on here. I think there's been an accident of some kind. 41 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 3: And that's exactly what it happened. 42 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 5: I loved the pianos so much, but I was in 43 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 5: an accident in twenty twenty and I didn't know if 44 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 5: I was gonna play again. I'm going to do. Cla 45 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 5: de Lunge used to play that song for me while 46 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 5: I was in the coma. 47 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 3: And I stood next to her mother while she was playing, 48 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 3: and her mother was just so moved. Her big thing, 49 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 3: Willow's big thing was to play in public, and here 50 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 3: she was. Wow And the look on her face afterwards, 51 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 3: the sense of a chief she because they thought she 52 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 3: was going to die a thousand times. I mean, she 53 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 3: was seventeen when she was in the coma, came out 54 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 3: of the coma when she was eighteen. The time had 55 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 3: just disappeared, and it took her months of rehabilitation, and 56 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 3: to sit at a public piano like that was quite extraordinary, unbelievable. 57 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 3: This is the thing about everyone having a story. Then 58 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 3: we met Cheryl. Cheryl had a tale to tell about 59 00:02:58,680 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 3: her parentage. 60 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 4: To find out that I was Aboriginal until I received 61 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 4: a letter when I was about thirty six. The letter 62 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 4: said that I have a sibling and that someone has 63 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 4: been looking for me of Aboriginal heritage, which was quite 64 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:20,119 Speaker 4: a shock. My mother was part of the stolen generation. 65 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 4: When I was three months old, I was adopted by 66 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 4: a very loving family, but they never really talked about 67 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 4: my heritage was never brought up. 68 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 3: What did you learn about your birth parents? 69 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 4: I knew my mother's name, and I never knew my 70 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 4: father or his name. 71 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 3: And you never met your mom and I never met 72 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 3: my mom. 73 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 4: But isn't a later life. Yes, she lived about Coleomen 74 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 4: was away. No, by the time I knew that she 75 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 4: lived close to me, she had passed away. We could 76 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 4: have caught the same bus. We could have yes been 77 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 4: bumping into each other at the supermarket. You know, I 78 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 4: don't know. It's those sorts of things that I really 79 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 4: don't like to dwell on because they are just a 80 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 4: bit too sad. 81 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 3: But she found a link to this heritage through the music. 82 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: It's amazing. 83 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 4: M we're creating. The feeling of being at the Kung 84 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 4: does help me reconnect to the narrow Jerry land of 85 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 4: my mother's side. It's important to know where you come 86 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 4: from Andy respect to that. 87 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 3: Wow, And of course the show is also has great 88 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 3: moments of joy and being uplifting. These are Jackson, Bailey 89 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 3: and Oliver, two twins and their brother. As I said, 90 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 3: the Proclaimers and one more from Tamworth and they brought 91 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 3: them all to its feet. 92 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: That's what it's gonna be. Time will go already. 93 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 3: Seriously, this show is everything. I'm so proud to be 94 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 3: part of it. And the comments I get in the 95 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 3: street every day from people who were so moved by 96 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 3: this show. 97 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: And so you should be. You're so good on this show. 98 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: It's just so wonderful. 99 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 3: And all the episodes are up there on ABC iView 100 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 3: or you can watch them every Sunday, seventh. 101 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 2: Third, jack it out, watching it next Sunday, won't you 102 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 2: Just Once I get my ABC I. 103 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 1: View apps sorted out, but I'll be watching it.
