THE REAL THING by RUSSELL MORRIS Story by David Oke
The images were blurry but I witnessed a momentous event in human history and I’ll never forget it.
THE RHYTHM OF LIFE performed by SAMMY DAVIS JNR. Story by Angela Savage
One of my fondest childhood memories is dancing with my father to Sammy Davis Jnr singing Rhythm Of Life from the soundtrack to the 1969 musical Sweet Charity.
THE RIVER by BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN & THE E STREET BAND Story by Jane Leonard
We used to walk back to his house from South Yarra Station with our vinyl school bags slung over our shoulders. When we got to the top of the hill on the Domain Road corner, we’d turn onto Punt Road and head down towards the Yarra. But we never went all the way down to the river.
The Rolling Stones stories
We have a handful of stories inspired by The Rolling Stones. Just the five, which may be a fraction surprising.
THE SAME THING COULD HAPPEN TO YOU by LAZY LESTER Story by Peter Crossing
Lazy Lester sang in a compelling, rough-hewn voice and played harmonica, guitar and various percussion devices. Not blues from the delta, not the electric blues of the big cities but blues with a looser feel.
The schooldays collection
Given so many Stereo Stories (or stories in general ) are about rites of passage, and formative years, it’s no surprise we have a collection of short music-memoirs about schooldays. Just over 20 stories, including contributions from noted authors Tony Birch and Melanie Cheng, and our RocKwiz colleague Brian Nankervis.
