G'day again,

GUEST of 14 May 13 - 11:09 PM:

No animus to Bernard, a nice bloke ... especially for a Pom ...

I was just suggesting that he's no more part of the latterday "Blog" mindset than I am ... and probably reflecting on the fact that I was happy to learn many of his great songs by heart - and sing them, from memory - with appropriate credit ... and always the good response they deserve.

In the case of his Australia Square song ... it's an amusing song - but set in the high rise / high price environment of his high finance work environment (of the day) ... and a rather gruesome quirky joke line ... Really, just not my song!

I checked all my old archives - right back to pencil & paper transcriptions - and, as I expected , no Australia Square! To get the lyrics ... I would have to locate the LP record player ... remember how to play LPs ... connect it to tape recorder ( or computer input ..) record it ... and play it back, over & over, until I had all the words down ... and I don't really like that specific song ... enough!

Regard(les)s ... ! ...,

Bob
