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.

In the year 2929

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 ..."

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
