  • this selection of music is incredibly beautiful

  • I also saw this on the night the show aired. I had no idea how absolutely beautiful this song was until I heard this performance. Thank you so much for uploading this.

  • One of the best songs ever written.

  • You wrote "Night of the Wolverine", Dave Graney, that puts you up there with Jimmy Webb as one of the great song writers in my opinion.

  • I still see her standing by the water

    Standing there lookin' out to sea

    And is she waiting there for me?

    On the beach where we used to run

  • Good luck, Galveston! We're all thinking about you and praying for you tonight.

  • I saw this programme the night it was aired. I felt privileged to have witnessed a master performing. Those who saw the show may recall how he turned back to the Nissan Cedrics (the show's vocal duo) and acknowledged their singing before sitting to be interviewd.

  • When JW was interviewed, Roy Slaven commented that he had never got that message from Glenn Cambell's rendition but hearing JW sing it, the message was suddenly all so clear. JW is in the Top 5 of my list of rock legends.

  • The "unfortunate" name was carefully chosen by Australia's two most iconoclastic comedians. Like most of their work it has a double meaning. If the prudes complain that it is a reference to sodomy, Roy & HG just reply that buggery in the Australian idiom means somewhere distant and isolated. As in: "We had to go all the way to buggery to find their place." It's an Aussie thing. We don't take other people's sensibilties to heart. Take us as you find us mate or go to buggery.

  • Haha, I didn't even notice the show's name until you mentioned it... I just heard Ricky talking about this on his Desert Island Discs interview too, so I thought i'd check it out
