Rolf Harris - Sun Arise, Didgeridoo and Dal Richards Orchestra at PNE 2010

Uploaded by RayVanEng on Sep 17, 2010
The song Sun Arise has an interesting history. It is an aboriginal kind of song that Australian entertainer and British TV personality Rolf Harris co-wrote with Australian naturalist Harry Butler. The song was recorded in 1962 and rose steadily to as high as #2 in the U.K. chart until Elvis Presley stopped the song on its track. At the Vancouver concert on Aug 26, 2010 at the PNE 2010, Harris was accompanied by his friend Shining Bear who played an Australian aboriginal didgeridoo (a long horn type of instrument) with Vancouver's very own Dal Richards conducting the orchestra.
Rolf Harris and his wife came to Vancouver accidentally in 1961. Although even back then he was working in British television, Harris readily admitted that it was in Vancouver that he had honed his skill as a showman performing in front of a live audience. As the saying goes, the rest is history. When Harris returned to England in 1962, he went on to become a very successful TV personality and entertainer in both the UK and Australia among other places and even painted a portrait for Queen Elizabeth II in 2005 just prior to her 80th birthday. Harris was in Vancouver again in 2010 at the Pacific National Exhibition to help celebrate the centennial of the Vancouver fair. He performed a number of his famous tunes including Two Little Boys, Vancouver Town, Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport and Sun Arise. [Produced by Ray Van Eng] www.vancouver21.com

My Uncle taught me that while all the natural and best didgeridoo players are Aboriginal, there are white fellas who are great digeridoo players, and that there are also people who are just didgeridon'ts.
