Australian Music

It must have been about 1983 when my Australian pen pal Marcelle (I wonder what happened to her?) sent me Australian Crawl's Semantics EP. My cassette long ago gave up the ghost, but Australian Crawl is still alive and well on YouTube. Reckless (Don't Be So). It still sounds great.

Burke and Wills and camels,

I'd always wondered what that meant. Found out yesterday:

And another great Australian band: Midnight Oil Beds Are Burning

Some other music from the land down under: Powderfinger (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powderfinger and http://www.powderfinger.com/)

By the way, Tim, Benmont Tench played piano and keyboards on the group's most recent album, Dream Days at the Hotel Existence.
