Black Lace playing in 1978 at The Settlement part 5

Black Lace playing 'Long as I can see the light' also known as 'Put a candle in the window' at http://thesettlement.org.au/. [There's also part of 'Sultans of Swing' but the filming cuts out halfway through this one.]

When the Mac Silva Centre was opened in 1991 (two years after Mac's untimely death at 42) their logo contained a candle, as Mac would always sing this song. 'Put a candle in the window -- I won't be away too long and I'll be coming back.' It was thought this was very apt, as this is what the centre was all about, making a home for people and making them always feel welcome.
