Fred - I meant whatever happened to Men At Work - my old clunker of computer won't play Youtube - is this a Men At Work version or maybe the old Rolf Harris recording?
My dear friend Ross Lawler in Brisbane (who sadly died in 2005) who kept me abreast of Australian culture for over 40 years - I haven't taken the records out of storage (coming up this fall) so can't be specific tonight. I do know I have several Rolf Harris recordings.
There was one record Ross sent that was lovely - it was the translation of an aboriginal lullaby - wish I could remember who recorded it! You could just hear the stars and the lure of the outback in the wonderful rhythm of it.
Maybe David or one of you would know who it might be - seem to recall it was a group - I haven't heard it in 12 years.
