Music can take you places.
I’m not sure why, but I am having an Aus rock week. Every song I play reminds me of somewhere or some time or someone. The other night I was listening to “Fathers’ Day” by Weddings Parties Anything which makes me think of my cousins, who were big fans. Before that I had some Australian Crawl and then various Cold Chisel songs playing: Saturday Night, Flame trees, Bow River, it was odd to hear them all again. That led me on to Midnight Oil which reminded me of concerts at the Sydney Entertainment Centre with my brother and his uni friends.
Last night it was Hunters and Collectors and Crowded House.
Tonight it is Paul Kelly and songs about places I know.
I know I’m showing my age with that list but that’s fine. We did receive this and this for Christmas so I’m not living in the past all the time.
