This week was the annual 3RRR Radiothon. This year we made a slight return to Springsteen.
Instead of painting the town RRR, we painted it a little bit Rosie.
Rosalita (Come Out Tonight) – Bruce Springsteen
The theme this week was ‘Far Away’.
During the previous summer on RRR, I had hosted my own show: ‘Ebb Tide’. Each week I would have a guest come in to tell listeners about their proficiency in a hidden talent, and to play some of their favourite songs.
My guest the second week was former Warner Brothers guitarist, James Stewart – who also holds a salt lake belly-tanker land speed record in Australia. Nope, I’m not joking.
James chose to play this Delines song during his interview. When one of Australia’s best songwriters directs you to a song, your ears certainly prick up!
Personnel on the day: Dan Warner – vocals and guitar; Nathan Farrelly – Bass; Dave Evans – accordion; Jane Hendry – violin

JVG presents us with some interesting themes, at times. 
This week, our theme was ‘repeated words in a title’.
I’d been to see Rod Stewart in concert during the week – so I’d been thinking about The Faces, and how great they were. Rod sang ‘Stay With Me’ on the night – which was brilliant. Of course he didn’t sing ‘Ooh La La’ because, of course, Ronnie Wood sang the original version…
Some people say I look a little like young Rod – if only, if only…
The full Warner Corner band was in this week: Dan Warner – vocals and guitar; Nathan Farrelly – vocals and bass; Ed Bates – resonator; Jane Hendry – violin and vocals; Dave Evans – accordion and vocals
Ooh La La (The Faces)

Strange things happen on the show, sometimes…
This week, our theme was ‘rushing’. For some reason, although it’s not really about rushing, the title of this song popped into my head. Funnily enough, Anthony Morgan also selected a Guy Clark song about a train for his segment. Yes, a singular train of thought.
Although the guys in this song look like they’re doing the same mundane things that everybody else is doing – these guys just feel it differently.

The theme this Sunday was ‘Legs’. I said to JVG on the day that – when the legs in this song are mentioned – your heart just gets ripped out. The song is, of course, Tow Waits’s Kentucky Avenue from Blue Valentine.
I remember being a kid – it was a lot like this.
Musicians on the track: Dan Warner – vocals and guitar; Dave Evans – accordion; Ed Bates – resonator; Nathan Farrelly – double bass
