The song I cited that day was Happy Anniversary Baby which I must confess is not what I would call one of their best songs. This song however was the opening track on their debut self-titled album “Little River Band” and is a great little number. This particular version of the song is sadly a little truncated by a radio interview of the band at the end of the video clip. However, the radio interview brings back an interesting childhood memory for me which involved my older brother using this song and wiring up our Dad’s sound system so it could play music down the telephone line. He then rang random sydneysiders and pretended to be a disc jocky telling them they had won a prize if they could just answer an LRB-related question. Can’t remember if many of those we called fell for his trick now but I remember I found it hilariously funny at the time.

In the new year we are finely getting a dog for my daughter Grace. Luckily it is a dog not a cat and my name is not Curiosity so I give the dog’s chances of long term survival better than evens ????. Man the seventies dress styles were bloody awful!

Firstly, to marry a wonderful woman who has patiently put up with me for 20 years and secondly, because I fluked starting my Aussie music theme before realising that the perfect song to post for my 20th wedding anniversary was in fact by an Aussie group, Little River Band. Therefore I have not messed up my Covid Island disc theme!

Well it is not quite the perfect song if you listen closely to the lyrics but hey, the main gist is there.

“Happy anniversary baby….“
