Hasbeen,
Hope you make it, young fella.

Dear Banjo Paterson,

I find it sad to be losing such talented cultural touchstones from our lives, particularly those who grew up with someone like the Seekers. These events do however prompt us down memory lanes we might not otherwise have travelled.

Going through some of their hits I was reminded just how talented a songwriter Tom Springfield was. Indeed as brother of Dusty it gives some indication of the deep of creativity within that family.

ttbn, you don't have a compassionate bone in your body, and that is sad. What Judith Durham and Olivia Newton-John gave was joy through music to millions, and their loss is sadly mourned by millions. Although not known personally to people, there are those of us who feel we did known them in someway through their music, and their passing brings us sadness.

If you leave this earth and your only claim you can make is; "I brought joy to others while I lived" then that's enough for me.

Hi Hasbeen,

Wow - 84 years young!

How much would you be worth at your age if you were
a wine?

When you look back over the years I hope that your memories
are warm ones. Wishing you love and joy and when you look
to the future may all your dreams and wishes come true.

Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday! And Many More!

Sharing all these deaths makes me think back on all
the posters that have left the forum and are no
longer with us. People that I miss daily. People
like - Joe Lane (Loudmoth), Belly, Poirot, Examiner,
and so many others.

I know that Joe (Loudmoth) has passed. But I wonder where
the others are?

Judith Durham is to receive a state funeral in
Melbourne. Which is fitting for such an Australian
Icon.

Olivia-Newton-John's family are also being consulted
about a State Memorial Service here in Melbourne.
As our Premier Daniel Andrews said: "It will be
celebrating her life, her music, and film, and all
her other amazing contributions she made."

"She took her cancer journey and used it to save lives
and change lives and that is just a deeply impressive
thing."

May they both Rest In Peace.
