Day 27: Khe Sanh, Cold Chisel
Another great Australian band. This song captures the real sadness of the wondering spirit who is yet to find its home. “I’ve been back to South East Asia, but the answer sure ain’t there.”“Well the last plane out of Sydney almost gone…“

I had a friend at University of Sydney who first played me this amazing piano piece on a piano which at the time was located in one of the student Union buildings (Manning). It retells the famous parable that Jesus told of the prodigal son who repents and is welcomed home by his father.
