ASHOKAN FAREWELL by JAY UNGAR Story Luke R Davies
For a time I was transported to a place that's hard to explain. It was sublime, an experience one might call spiritual. Confirming even an atheist can be touched by the unknown.
CENTRE STAGE Luke R Davies
At our second-ever show - Newport Folk Festival in Melbourne, 2014 – a folk and blues musician from Wangaratta caught the tail-end of our 45 minute set in the scout hall.
GOOD TIME CHARLIE by THE MIGHTY REAPERS OF VENGEANCE Story by Luke R Davies
The Mighty Reapers did a wonderful version with Continental Robert Susz on vocals and harp. It was very cool.
MY WAY by FRANK SINATRA Story by Luke Davies
Luke Davies pays tribute to his father, via Frank Sinatra's version of My Way.
FIVE FEET HIGH AND RISING by JOHNNY CASH Story by Luke R Davies
From the first time I heard Five Feet High And Rising I could relate to it, not that where we lived in the lower Blue Mountains was likely to get flooded. It just somehow touched me.
Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto no.2 op.18 Story by Luke R Davies
The love of any form of art is always a subjective thing. What is cool is an art form that can take you to a new level of appreciation of another art form.
HARD ON THINGS by CORIN RAYMOND Story by Luke Davies
The song reached in hard and touched me. That night I have a fan moment and purchase three of Corin's CDs during the interval.
I DRINK by MARY GAUTHIER Story by Luke R Davies
Mary Gauthier entered my little world and reinforced the notion that songwriting is a great art form as worthy of any other. To me, she was, until then, an unknown master of songwriting.
OLD WHITE MEN by VANCE GILBERT Story by Luke R Davies
Can’t think of a song all festival that blew me away like Old White Men did. When I caught it at the tail end of Vance Gilbert's set I welled up like everyone else.
A WHITER SHADE OF PALE by PROCUL HARUM Story by Luke Davies
I was like another brother to Jessica. She fancied my band mates more than me, so that was bit of a drag. We did share a love for one particular song, though.
