The amount of popular singers who cite his vocal style as an inspiration is fairly impressive.- McCartney, Prince, James Brown. The guy was a legend

RIP Florian Schneider. I love this one, it’s a slow build but a magnificent expression of electronica that has such great feel that belies machine music.

L Richard is one of those performers you are surprised to find out have died just now.

Yeah I must admit I thought he had died a few years ago but maybe that was Chuck Berry I was thinking of :thinking:

I thought that tall bloke we had on our rookie list that went to Adelaide years ago had retired/got axed.

Turns out he plays for Geelong now.

Turns out I didn’t care either.

I worked on the original Snowy River. The producers had a watertight contract with Douglas and he was paid accordingly. However the film proved way ,way more popular than Douglas anticipated and he subsequently attempted to sue the producers for more money. Needless to say he was not successful.
Nevertheless I dont think he was prepared to do Snowy River 2 for the same money.
The producers of the second film were in part different people from the first production.

Which one was you?

Dad of a guy at our cricket club was an extra on Snowy River. Looked exactly like you’d imagine a mountain bushman to look like…big bushy beard, wiry etc. Surname Beamish.

James?
