I was extraordinarily fortunate on Sunday.
So fortunate it’s hard to find the words for it. So:
Blah blah, community, blah blah, parents, blah blah, celebrity, blah, blah, Australian Icon, blah blah photos, blah blah, lucky, LUCKY, blah blah generosity of spirit and OH MY GOD.
Curiosity piqued?
Yes, that is MR Daddy Cool – Ross Wilson. OMG.
Our little primary school has some talented parents, and some very good friends, and as a fundraiser a concert was organised. But not your usual school concert, a proper grown up concert. For grown ups. On a Sunday afternoon. Where we were treated to a great line up and spoiled. SO SPOILED. And yes, he did Eagle Rock. I kept kicking myself. It’s practically our alternative National Anthem….
Joe Camilleri. 
Who may even go to the same supermarket as me.
Such a generous man – he gave it everything, like he was performing to thousands, not hundreds. Reminding us all what it is to be alive and give 100%. He has a new album out, and I’m off to buy it for sure. This song of his is still a favourite after years and years. I’m such a fan. Funny to see the old film clip this morning, and by coincidence I bought an antique chinese jacket from Jane Clifton (who performs in the song) at the Camberwell market over 20 years ago. Apparently she wore it to James Valentine’s (from the Models) wedding. It’s gone now. I wish I’d held on to it.
What an AWESOME afternoon, and like I said, you should have been there…. Lucky, lucky me.
You should have been there….
You lucky Bastard! Very jealous!
Sounds great!! Max’s school has a load of musician kids too – regurgitator and wolfmother for a start. He wouldn’t have a clue, but mummy does…..really adds a level of interest and depth to the school I think, and adult concerts – we should all have those!
[to both of you!]
my son’s school is way too suburban boring. the biggest celebrities are the 3 chooks we get to look after every now and then…
Oh wow. envy,envy,envy . Hope you had the best time.
