What a joy it was to watch this video. Remember what Olive says here... you can dance till you are 104 as long as you have "Music and a TALL man". Now that she is in heaven, I am sure she is dancing once more, because God is holding her up, the angels are singing the music, and Jesus is tall enough for her to dance with for eternity. As she said about her fight when she was a little girl, "It serves you right, now I am going home." God bless you, Olive!
ok NO ONE READ THIS cuz if u do u will die in 7 days srry i hate these but i read one and dont want to take any risks... post this on ten others to live i guess...
Olive is amazing, I love her! Loved Mike Rubbo's documentary too when screened on TV - enjoying the exerpts here! Would she remember the carousel at Broken Hill which was there for a few years between 1900 and around 1920? Maybe a childhood memory?
OMG I am a fan! This woman is amazing. How inspirational. I think it's great that she is doing what she does. I understand how it helps her to maintain life. I am disabled due to chronic kidney deisease and dispite being just 35, the internet has been a wonderful resource for socialization. I wish I could give her a huge hug for being so special. I am subscribing to her blog.
What a wonderful inspiring woman! I just hope that I look as good as her when I (if I) get to her age. Towards the end I almost had a tear in my eye - the music, Olive dancing. I wished I had took some footage of my grandmother before she passed away last year - all I have are my memories and photos. Thank God for Olive - Bless her dear sweet heart. What a laugh she gave me - punching that girl who gave her a hard time. Give em' hell Olive!
what a delightful video. Go for it,Olive, you are a great lady and I would love to meet you but am the other side of the world in England. Isnt the web wonderful?
Wonderful and inspiring. I email nightly with a man whose mother, in Jamaica, is Olive's age. Unfortunately, Merle has been bedridden for years and can't speak.

I did some folk song collecting in Broken Hill in the early 70s.
I am curious to find out who sang the Broken Hill song on this video - sounds like Harry Chapman. Are there more words? warren fahey
