Did anyone just see the legendary jimmy keays sing the legendary 'Do what you want to do' from Master's Apprentices wearing the Red and Blue scarf on Marngrook just now? He has supported the Dees since 1967. He followed the Red n blue Norwood team in S.A.

Call me a pedant, but the song is actually called "It's because i love you" - a quick searchon YouTube will find several clips of him performing live with Russell Morris and Daryl Cotton, but no Marngrook clip up yet.

Hard to disagree... add The Loved Ones, Wild Cherries, Purple Hearts, MPD, Mike Furber and the Bowery Boys, Little Gulliver, The Groove (best Sam & Dave covers ever) etc to that list.

Yep, they're was a heap of them i liked, but, i was a radio music lover, so didn't know many groups names just the occasional song. i heard my older sisters stuff on Radio 3AK/3XY, & my dads stuff on 3UZ/3DB etc.

I first saw the apprentices at the Biting Eye in Lt Bourke St in the mid sixties and even though they weren't bad and were very original the Twilights killed every one else on stage. When they were on at Opus on Sunday nights all the other bands on the bill that night would come out and watch, they were that good.

I was lucky with an older sister, in some ways.

I got to hear some good tunes from her 60's,,, & from my dads genres as well, Satchmo & big bands & just Pop, My name is Sue, how do you Do, now you Gonna Dye!!!

In the year 2929, or, "Puff the magic Dragon". Just a great Era for Music,,, of all creative tastes.

Yes, I Utubed Jimmy after watching MGrook and couldn't decide on the title, too hazed out to review your suggestion but I dip my lid to you. I was there in the 60's that's why i can't remember it. Really impressed with how lucid and together jimmy was post-performance, and how at-one he was with the Demons. He should be pushed up to the stratosphere;

1. For being an A-Grade legend of the 60's;

2. For wearing his heart on his sleeve for our colours.

Bugger, missed it, staying at a friends place, he watched the "before the game".

Does anyone have a vision for YouTube?

I am sure if you rang the channel they would help you out with a clip or a link to their show.

Actually, it was "In the year 2525" by Zagar & Evans...I remember it clearly because the first time I heard it was on 3UZ and the DJ (Ken Sparkes I think it was) said "I wonder if that is a prediction for our future" and immediately his comment finished, the house started to shake... we had an earth tremor.

Forget the title numbers & they're not too far off beam.

Neeld sings this to players at training: "What we're trying to get through ... it's a brave new world, we can all be cool."

Craig: "Wars or hands of time will not destroy our dreams of days that are to come"

Dunno what Davey & Sylvia are singing .... "a land of fairy tales and good things are all a child dreams all day ..."

Fantastic. Jim Keays has been a Demon supporter almost as long as me!

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
