Last year in November, I made an appearance with my guitar on a national radio show called ‘Get This’, hosted by a famous Australian comedian named Tony Martin. It made for one heck of a birthday, and I guess that means that one of my songs, technically, has been heard all around Australia, doesn’t it?

The song is about Richard Marsland (the panel operator on ‘Get This’) and was played while a support rally for the show was on the streets outside the studios.

So please enjoy this bit of self indulgence, which has nothing to do with anything Nightlight except it’s me.
