You really think this guy gets a job 40 days before the assassination, moving to Dallas from New Orleans and just happens to work in a high rise building right at the end of the motorcade rout that had an empty (meaning no people) room on the top floor?You'd have to say one of 3 things. Either he was part of a plan, was extremely well handled, or was a super rare coincidence.Think about it, a covert asset of ONI and CIA who could speak Russian and was certainly not lacking intelligence, moves to a new city to get a minimum wage job moving books. And then as testified by Roselli, he was shot so as to silence him.Remember what Hoover wrote Nov 24th 1963Why say the Real Assassin?”It is nteresting because Nick Katzenbach who Hoover is referring to, himself wrote the next day in a memo to Bill Moyer “THE PUBLIC MUST BE SATISFIED THAT OSWALD WAS THE ASSASSIN; THAT HE HAD NO CONFEDERATES WHO ARE STILL AT LARGE; AND THAT EVIDENCE WAS SUCH THAT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN CONVICTED AT TRIAL.””Jack Ruby, also a Jew, even told the warren commission he had to do it “because of his Jewish faith”and what was he talking about when he told Earl Warren“Unfortunately, Chief Earl Warren, had you been around 5 or 6 months ago, and I know your hands were tied, you couldn't do it, and immediately the President would have gotten a hold of my true story, or whatever would have been said about me, a certain organization wouldn't have so completely formed now, so powerfully, to use me because I am of the Jewish extraction, Jewish faith, to commit the most dastardly crime that has ever been committed. Can you understand now in visualizing what happened, what powers, what momentum has been carried on to create this feeling of mass feeling against my people, against certain people that were against them prior to their power?” That goes over your head doesn't it.…I want to say this to you. The Jewish people are being exterminated at this moment. Consequently, a whole new form of government is going to take over our country, and I know I won't live to see you another time. Do I sound sort of screwy–in telling you these things?… All I know is maybe something can be saved. Because right now, I want to tell you this, I am used as a scapegoat, and there is no greater weapon that you can use to create some falsehood about some of the Jewish faith, especially at the terrible heinous crime such as the killing of President Kennedy….Now maybe something can be saved. It may not be too late, whatever happens, if our President, Lyndon Johnson, knew the truth from me. But if I am eliminated, there won't be any way of knowing. Right now, when I leave your presence now, I am the only one that can bring out the truth to our President, who believes in righteousness and justice.”Note that later while talking to the press that Jack Ruby says the Truth may never come above board and that it goes all the way to the top. If LBJ isn't in the loop and at the top as it were, then who is he talking about?“But he has been told, I am certain, that I was part of a plot to assassinate the President…. I am sorry, Chief Justice Warren, I thought I would be very effective in telling you what I have said here. But in all fairness to everyone, maybe all I want to do is beg that if they found out I was telling the truth, maybe they can succeed in what their motives are, but maybe my people won't be tortured and mutilated. ….No; the only way you can do it is if he knows the truth, that I am telling the truth, and why I was down in that basement Sunday morning, and maybe some sense of decency will come out and they can still fulfill their plan, as I stated before, without my people going through torture and mutilation. …But I won't be around, Chief Justice. I won't be around to verify these things you are going to tell the President. … I have been used for a purpose, and there will be a certain tragic occurrence happening if you don't take my testimony and somehow vindicate me so my people don't suffer because of what I have done. …All I want is a lie detector test, and you refuse to give it to me. Because as it stands now—and the truth serum, and any other–Pentothal–how do you pronounce it, whatever it is. And they will not give it to me, because I want to tell the truth. And then I want to leave this world. But I don't want my people to be blamed for something that is untrue, that they claim has happened. “It seems that Jack Ruby is paranoid that the president has been told already that he was party of a plot to kill the president that that “his people” meaning Jewish people or the Israeli state was behind it. Israel had several motives to want both JFK and RFK dead. It was in their eye a matter of survival.1 The Kennedys want Israel inspected for nuclear weapons. RFK also had information and testing done around Dimona showing the Uranium there had come from the US's Nautilus project, since it was the only uranium in the world enriched to that high a % at that point in time. It was all over the area.2 The Kennedys supported Palestinians right of Return.3 They wanted Israel's foreign lobbies to register as foreign agents4 JFK along with France's Charles de Gaulle who also survived an assassination attempt, supported Algeria independence.The John Birch Society, who Ruby tries to paint a picture of as all powerful, didn't kill the President. As much as big oil was tied to LBJ, and Texas oil man David Harold Byrd owning the building where Lee Harvey Oswald worked, they didn't control Jack Ruby nor did they gain anything worth the risk when RFK was assassinated in California. Guys like David Ferrie and Jacob Rubenstein were working for the Mafia. And the Mafia lost a billion dollars in revenue when Castro shut down the casinos. They had every reason to work with the CIA when they came knocking and they did, and the CIA had every reason to seek plausible deniability that the mafia provided for a variety of illegal activities, from narcotic and gun running to assassination. The CIA's Victor Marchetti testified that Ferrie worked for the CIA.Jack Ruby was a central mafia figure and knew almost every cop in Dallas. He also went the Cuba and even rode with FBN agents to the airport. So was Oswald's childhood friend and fellow closet f****t Efraim Sullivan, who became a chief of police in Louisiana and got 4 cops killed as well as 5 civilians all in one shooting. According to his son he work for the Mossad. These southern mafia heads guys were bragging about JFK AND Robert getting killed before both happened. The Kennedys demanded the ZAC/ZOA/AIPAC register as a foreign agent. RFK issued them a moratorium with 72 hrs to comply in November of 63. The PM resigned over it to stall for time and Kennedy was killed the same month.The mafia was the CIA's plausible deniability and ground distribution network for narcotics which is how they were covertly financing anti communist resistance in Cuba, China, and USSR. Vietnam's opium was a natural market move as Europe was recovered from WWII. RFK was prosecuting the same mob leaders who the CIA was secretly working with to sell drugs and even attempt to assassinate Castro. Think back to the CIA's earliest operations in the Middle East, operation Ajax and the Suez Crisis, which was itself the product of a botched 1956 Israel false flag operation, Operation Suzanna, now commonly called the Lavon Affair. As a Senator, Johnson blocked the Eisenhower administration's attempts to apply sanctions against Israel following the 1956 Sinai Campaign. Who did these CIA operation in Iran and Egypt really benefit? Not the United States. But of course both Dulles brothers were hardcore Zionists. Bobby was killed on the first anniversary of the six day war and set up a Palestinian. Now who would want to do that?The plan was to replace him with Katzenbach, which LBJ did. And none of it could move until JFK was out of the way. The mob lost a billion dollars a year in gambling revenue when Castro shut down casinos. Hoffa using teamster pension funds to create Las Vegas as the new Cuba was in reaction to this. These are the guys who end up in a series of murders for or before finishing testimony to the House Committee on assassination. Giancana had been Ruby's boss. Trafficante had him killed.The Jewish finger prints are all over both assassinations. Johnson's domestic and foreign policies on Cuba on Russia on Vietnam didn't really change. Kennedy was not getting out of Vietnam. This is wishful thinking on par with the fools who thought Obama was going to be an antiwar president. JFK had already procured 6 billion dollars, most of it left over from Eisenhower who had had enough of the MIC, to spent on the F111 fighter jet. Oh it is interesting that the Crown family benefited when Johnson lobbied to have the contract go to General Dynamics. They also married into the family who owned the hotel where Bobby was shot and allowed Jewish mobsters to use it for gambling operations. It was Henry Crown's personal lawyer Albert E Jenner, who was appointed by Johnson and to be part of the Warren Commission whitewash, was hired to look into the backgrounds of the two most important individuals, Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby. Of course he found no intelligence ties or mob ties. Jenner was also a director for general Dynamics. Reading the biographies given for these men by the WC and comparing them to the mountains of information we have now is enough to make even the most crooked lawyer blush. Jack Ruby's first jail visitor was the mob boss of Dallas.The only dramatic changes under LBJ were on his Middle East policy. He had Americans killed! About the USS Liberty which the Israelis attacked in the Six Day War, LBJ told Admiral Lawrence Geis “I dont care if that ship sinks to the bottom of the ocean.” LBJ stacked his admin with Zionists and the US has never recovered. Israel kept it nukes, Palestinians never got right of return, (it was never even brought up again) the lobbies never registered as foreign agents, and America as subsidized the racist apartheid state with billions every year from then to now. Of Course Johnson didn't want the ZOA (Zionist Organization of America) to be registered as a foreign lobby. His aunt, Jessie Johnson was on it! Few people know that according to Jewish law, LBJ was himself Jewish. His mother was Rebekah Baines, thus Johnson's middle name. She was Jewish. Her mother was Ruth Ament Huffman, and her mother was Mary Elizabeth Perrin all of whom were Jewish. Perrin's husband was John S. Huffman whose mother was Suzanne Ament, thus Ruth's Middle name. Ament was a German Jew. The Huffman's settled in Fredrick Maryland and from there went to Kentucky and finally Texas. The Jewish times brags ” The line of Jewish mothers can be traced back three generations in Lyndon Johnson's family tree. There is little doubt that he was Jewish.” Regardless there is no doubt that LBJ was a Zionist and put Israel's needs first. Writing that list would take a long time.On November 21, 1963, a government informant named Thomas Mosley was negotiating the sale of machine guns to a Cuban exile named Echevarria. In the course of the transaction, Echevarria said that “we now have plenty of money – our new backers are Jews” and would close the arms deal “as soon as we [or they] take care of Kennedy.” The next day, Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas.You wont see that in Oliver Stone's film on JFK of course the Executive producer of that film was Arnon Milchan, Israel's largest arms dealer. It is unfortunate but many laymen JFK researcher use that film as their initiation.Echevarria's words are often associated with the Mocone -Rowley memo. CD 498 [Rowley memorandum| which does reference it. It goes on to explain how the conversation was interrupted by other bus drivers. The follow up interview with the informant is of course classified.Furthermore this adds. “I further told Mr Johnson that the informant had worked with us in a recent counterfeiting Case and had proved to be reliable.”However the primary source is a Secret Service ReportSpecial Agent Joseph E Noonan.What is the Jewish (mafia/state) doing mixed up with anti-Castro Cuban exiles who were illegally buying arms? And why isn't this pre Kennedy assassination foreknowledge more well known? Oh but you see it is, only the Jews part is usually removed. I don't think researchers should omit this just to be Politically Correct. The international angle and Johnson's deep ties with Israel and Israel's motives to kill not only JFK but RFK as well, is seldom explored. Stone's movie doesn't even mention middle eastern policy or Israel and instead focuses on the Bay of Pigs and Vietnam. I think enough eyeballs have been over every inch of those theories for over 5 decades. I have a working theory that cleanly ties both assassinations together. But I am censored on everything.How Israel stole the bomb and killed JFKI need you to subscribe, it is just $6 a month less if you sign up for a year. This is a public episode.

Due to personal circumstances, I've been unable to produce a new episode this week, however, you will be aware of the many gems in the back catalogue and I have chosen one of my favourites today which is a rip-roaring story of service in the USAF with Rick Shreve an F111 pilot which I know you will enjoy. Normal service should be resumed next week. Rick Shreve was a US Air Force F 111 pilot based at RAF Lakenheath in the UK. He was trained to carry out nuclear as well as conventional missions against the Warsaw Pact forces in Europe. Rick describes his low-level training missions to attack targets in the Soviet Union and East Germany, where he recalls a near-fatal incident amongst the Scottish lochs. Rick was also part of one of the crews that flew on Operation El Dorado Canyon, the operation to bomb Libya in April 1986 in retaliation for the West Berlin discotheque bombing ten days earlier. Rick gives you a very frank and honest view of his role in the US Air Force and his approach to the huge responsibilities he carried.

4月14号白天，地中海第六舰队布置了作战任务，晚上7点钟，珊瑚海号和美国号航母编队分别起锚开航，一个奔着开向班加西以北500公里之外的预定地点，一个奔着的黎波里以北500公里的预定地点，两边分别展开行动。于此同时，伦敦附近的费尔福德和米登霍尔空军基地之中，已经有30架KC10加油机和KC135加油机在整装待命。20分钟以后，拉肯希斯空军基地24架备有重型激光制导炸弹的F111战斗轰炸机起飞，另外5架EF111电子战飞机伴随飞行。地中海上的两个航母打击群也没闲着，他们出动了A6和A7攻击机15架，F/A18大黄蜂战机6架，EA6B电子干扰机14架，此外还有E2鹰眼预警机，F14战斗机、海上搜救直升机等等辅助机种若干架。反正加起来也有100多架了。海军和空降军的机群汇合以后，兵分两路，一路杀向的黎波里，一路杀向班加西。电子战飞机首先发现了利比亚防空系统的盲区，在的黎波里南部100米一下，有个防空系统的漏洞，到了15号的0点左右，16架F111战斗红炸机是直奔的黎波里的阿齐齐亚兵营、西迪比尔拉军营和国际机场军用区这三个目标扑过去了。飞机飞得很低，只有50~60米的高度，如果不是飞机设备好，外带飞行员技术过硬，谁也不敢夜里玩儿超低空飞行。在距离目标150米的时候，6架F111轮番发射了GBU-10和GBU-12宝石路激光制导炸弹，平均是1.5分钟扔一颗。班加西那边海军是重头戏，他们使用的是MK82和MK20重磅炸弹。当然，美国的EF111和EA6一直在附近徘徊，对利比亚的防空和指挥系统进行电子压制作战。同时，F18用哈姆和百舌鸟干净利落的打掉了利比亚的5个雷达站。美国人前前后后打了340多枚反辐射导弹。把利比亚的防空体系彻底撕碎了……

Joe's father served in World War 2 in the USAF. His service inspired Joe to try and join the USAF or the Naval Air Force despite having no flying experience. It's the aftermath of the Vietnam War so forces are being reduced, however with the arrival of a new President, Ronald Reagan, defence spending grows and provides Joe with an opportunity to start pilot training with the USAF. He eventually ends up flying the A10. The A-10 was first in service in 1976 and was designed to provide close air support to ground troops by attacking armoured vehicles, tanks, and other enemy ground forces. Joe describes what makes the A10 special as well as his training and initial deployment in the A10 in Alaska. You get a real pilot's eye view of flying the plane including navigation techniques and the challenges of flying low level. Don't miss Part 2 next week where Joe is sent to 92nd Fighter Squadron at RAF Bentwaters in the UK, just over 50 miles from where his father served in World War 2.

Sein Leben in der Hand haben. Selbst bestimmen, wie man leben möchte, was man tut, wer man ist. Alles unter Kontrolle haben. Das ist der Wunsch vieler Menschen, um Sicherheit zu spüren, sein Leben selbst zu gestalten und nicht von unangenehmen Situationen überrascht zu werden. Doch eine wichtige Komponente im Leben wird dabei vergessen: die Hingabe.Oft wird Hingabe mit etwas Negativem assoziiert, wie beispielsweise Aufgeben, Aufopfern oder Abhängigkeit. Doch Hingabe ist in seiner Essenz etwas Wundervolles: ein Loslassen und ein Zulassen zugleich, ein Annehmen dessen, was ist und ein sich Öffnen für das, was kommen möchte. Vor allem auch ein Öffnen gegenüber der kosmischen Energie, um sie durch sich wirken zu lassen. Und das alles im Vertrauen, dass immer das richtige zu einem kommt.In dieser Podcast-Folge erfährst du, was Hingabe bedeutet, warum es uns so schwer fällt, uns wirklich hinzugeben und wie wir mehr in die Hingabe zum Leben und großen Ganzen kommen.✭Let's explore the universe!

In the first part of the Red Flag tales we talked about the reasons for the formation of the USAF Fighter Weapons School and the subsequent creation of Exercise Red Flag. Now we get a chance to hear from some of the participants.  Firstly there is Nij who took time off from his Nuclear QRA duties to fly his RAF Jaguar in Flag exercises.  Then we have a Tornado GR1 pilot, Gasher, who also participated on behalf of the RAF.  Jack was an F15 pilot who took part as a wingman, formation leader and also as a Fighter Weapons School graduate.  Scott was a Tomcat RIO who was part of Red Air during Flag exercises and Abs, a navigator from the Royal Australian Air Force flew with the F111 force and was even a Blue Force Commander during the exercise.

Some graduate teachers working out bush find themselves under so much pressure that some just up and leave in the middle of the night.

Don Walker is renowned as one of Australia's best songwriters. In 2014 I spoke with him about music, his love of language and the challenge of moving from performing with Cold Chisel to being his own frontman. (The Perfect Crime tour)Don Walker is a notoriously private man.He just does not talk about the personal stuff. But he does talk about himself, about music and words and prose and work and Chisel and just about anything else you choose to throw at him.He speaks slowly, deliberately, and laughs with a quiet, low rumble. Don Walker is also very dry and very funny.Once a scientist who worked on Australia's F111 program, Don says he worked for a little while with "whatever modest skills I acquired in aerodynamic engineering. I can't say I was very good at it."Words matter to Don Walker and it's obvious that language is a great love for the man who has written some of Australia's most iconic rock songs, "I think my love of words, language and humour - which is very much part of it - comes not so much from reading but from listening to regional speech in Australia, listening to the way people talk.""I love the enormously intelligent use of language that you get in regional and grassroots Australia. I like to laugh and Aussies say stuff that makes me laugh all the time. I try and write in a way that's close to conversation, and the conversation that I know is the way that I talk, and the people around me whose company I enjoy, talk."Don Walker grew up in Grafton on the north coast of NSW and says there was little choice in radio listening, "Where I grew up there used to be two stations. 2NR was the ABC station on the north coast, and the local commercial station was 2GF. So 2GF was where you went for music; they didn't play any music on the ABC except for classical programs, so the music that was played on the local commercial station was the music we heard.""It was a peculiar kind of faux-country music; a lot of American stuff, but some Australian stuff, and in that curious period between Elvis and The Beatles. Elvis hit and then it all went quiet when he joined the army, but The Beatles hadn't happened yet, so there was a fallow period there where all sorts of wild and wonderful but now-forgotten things happened in music.""Last year, a mate of mine who grew up in the Wheatfields in WA told me he'd seen a movie called 'The Tree of Man' which I haven't seen but apparently it's the greatest movie of the last 10 years or so. In this movie he was shocked into that period of 1960 listening to commercial radio. He and a friend who worked in a record shop gathered three CDs of what was on the radio in that period and gave them to me. It's a real shock to listen to them because these are not songs that are widely played since, so to listen to three CDs of them now plunges me straight back to sitting on a verandah on a farm when I was 10 years old. It's wonderful stuff. 'Big Bad John', quite a bit of Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline."'Big Bad John' is one of my own musical memories so I suggest to Don that I could probably sing him all the words of it and throw in a bunch of bad trucking songs about the ghosts of little girls to boot."That's right!" laughs Don, "Six days on the road and I'm gonna see my baby tonight', or 'Wolverton Mountain', or 'From A Jack to a King', all that kind of stuff!"Our memories are strongly driven by sounds and smells and I suspect that as we get older, the guilty pleasures we have in music from years ago and may not have admitted to previously, are now songs that we love and will play loud in the car with the windows down, perhaps to the horror of our kids.Don Walker is one of Australia's most esteemed songwriters so of course I had to take the opportunity to try to get him to confess his musical sins to me."There's plenty of stuff that I can go back to and I'd only admit between you and I that at a certain stage I was very passionate about 'Blood, Sweat & Tears'. It is interesting to go back and listen to stuff now and see if it sounds as good as I thought it did at the time. 'Blood, Sweat & Tears' now sounds appalling! If you put on 'Bitches Brew' (Miles Davis) now, it sounds pretty good. So, there are examples like that, 'bad fashion' things that you do in any era.""I'm sure among the stuff I'm listening to and liking now there's some pretty horrible stuff. You're going to ask me what?"Yes. But Don isn't telling.I share with Don that I had recently played The Beach Boys' 'Pet Sounds' in the car for my kids to listen to because I think it's one of those things that pre-dates my own record collection but still sounds wonderful. Indeed, 'Pet Sounds' was released in the year of my birth. So even if the lyrics are a bit cheesy, if something was beautifully recorded and produced does it redeem it somewhat for him?"Well, you can't dismiss something just because it has cheesy lyrics, any more than you can dismiss something because it has cheesy music. Often in those combinations there's treasure.""But The Beach Boys, I never got it, or I never bothered. I think because when I was young, nobody in the band could actually play - nobody could do a solo - and when I was 20 or 25 that was important. But I've been doing a lot of long car trips over the last few years and a couple of years ago I bought a 'Best of The Beach Boys' and listened to it and started to wake up as to why so many of my musical friends are fanatical Beach Boys fans. Not so much musicians, but people in the music business, radio people and music journalists. I started to get it, to realise that this wasn't just another pop group, there's actually something unique and extraordinary that's happened here and everyone else is just imitators. I kinda knew that, but I never got it myself. Now I do."Don Walker is perhaps best known as Cold Chisel's main songwriter and through that band gave Australian rock music fans a new voice. With 40 years of songwriting under his belt, does the legacy of songs like Khe Sanh - released in 1978 - weigh on him?"Well, it's nice! There's a good living in that kind of thing. But once songs like that go out and are adopted by people as part of that canon of what they like to listen to, then it becomes a little bit remote to me.""The last five years or so, occasionally, I've done Khe Sanh myself with just piano, but that sounds utterly different so I can kind of own that again. It becomes a story with some chords, but it doesn't sound remotely like Jim (Barnes) and Cold Chisel on the radio because I can't sing like that. I'm very proud of it. We were a bunch of young guys and we did some good stuff. It's good that people like that and it holds up decades later, but it's a little bit remote from my daily life.""I didn't sing Khe Sanh originally. I just wrote it and showed it to the other guys in the band. Jim's been singing it as an integral part of what he does live, but not me. Neither are any other Cold Chisel songs. It's just in the last few years I started doing this other version of it. I wasn't avoiding it in all that time, it's just that it's not something that sounds like what I do, and it's not the way that I sound when I sing.""With such a song that's as widely loved as that, if I get up and sing it somebody might yell out, 'That's not how it goes!' he laughs, "The other thing is it's got a lot of words and everybody else knows them better than I do so what if you get half way through and you get stuck?!"In 2009, Don released his book 'Shots' - a collection of short autobiographical pieces. Reading 'Shots' reminded me of the way Leonard Cohen uses words, but Leonard Cohen makes me wonder just which words are lies."I don't think songwriters lie, but they certainly make stuff up. Is that lying? It's an essential part of songwriting.""Many years ago I was listening to someone do an interview with Paul Kelly, and they were digging in way beyond, 'What comes first, mate, the lyrics or the music?', they were digging in to just what happens and how do you come up with lyrics,""Paul said, 'I make stuff up.' I burst out laughing, I thought that was brilliant. Of course, you make stuff up. Is that lying? Yes, definitely. Sometimes it can tip over if you pretend it's the truth. So if me or Laughing Lenny write something that is not fiction but purporting to be a factual account, but that tips over into something that didn't actually happen, well ... you're on the edge."Where does Don Walker place the Canadian wordsmith, Leonard Cohen?"The big attraction for Leonard Cohen, and like The Beach Boys I've become a Leonard Cohen fan late in life - never took much notice of him before the last five or ten years but the big attraction is his humour. I don't think anything has got much legs if it hasn't got humour. You can look around and look at all the recording artists in history and divide the ones who have humour from the ones who don't. And that's a pretty profound thing, that really sorts them out, and Leonard Cohen is one of the funniest people out there, and one of the driest in his lyrics. And that's why now, late in life, I buy every Leonard Cohen album."Jimmy Barnes, of course, has deflected a lot of the heat of Cold Chisel's success from the rest of the band, but after Chisel disbanded Don Walker has put himself up front."It's never all about me, even when you're up there in front of a band. It's about the songs and the story. You're trying to put that over and connect. You're trying to whisper in the ear of everybody who's listening, whether you've recorded something that's being played on the radio or if you're playing a big show and there's thousands of people there. It's just one person trying to communicate to one other, and in some situations there's a lot of 'one other'. It's not about 'you', the person standing up there.""The fascist thing about it is that people can't talk back," laughs Don, "And for people in our position, the beautiful thing."I find it interesting to think about how songwriters see their own work given how precious it can sometimes become to others. To fans. To listeners. We listen, we love, we lose. We perhaps get married to the words in these songs. Live our lives through them. Die. We carry them with us and consider which of them we'd rescue from our burning house or take to a desert island. But how does the songwriter, the storyteller, see them?Don chips me about just wanting to ask what his favourite song is, but I think it's more complex than that and he concedes it's difficult to answer."There's a lot of stuff over the decades and I don't think of them as valuable or otherwise. Although there's a few things I've written that I would regard as 'value-less', but I'm not going name them. I admire people who use their songs to help people - that has value - but the songs I value most often have no correlation between how good a song is in my eyes and how well-known it is or how much money it's made or anything like that. It's not an inverse correlation either.""Probably one of the most - in my heart - beautiful songs I've ever written I wrote about 15 years ago - at the turn of the century! When I wrote it I thought, 'This is going to be massive all over the world because it's such a beautiful song', and I wrote it about a personal situation but it was universal, it had what I thought was a beautiful melody, it was simple, and it had everything that I thought was good about songcraft. And yet, everybody who heard it in the publishing world acknowledged how good it was but I couldn't get it recorded.""So that's what I'd call one of the top five songs that I'm proud of and yet nobody knew about it for 13 years.""But Missy Higgins has just recorded it and done a stunning version of it (The Way You Are Tonight) and now people are hearing it. In the meantime, there's a lot of other songs I've written that are enormously popular and have been all over the airwaves that I didn't think were nearly as good."Don Walker is a storyteller, but are there stories he hasn't been able to get out yet?"Yes, yes there are. There are things like that that have hung around in the back of my head for a long time, but they're difficult to describe because describing them will be in the song or in the prose writing and I haven't figured out a way of doing that yet. Where they live now is in pictures and movies and landscapes and feelings and maybe a few scraps of words."How does he know when the song is done? When the words are finished? When to stop and leave it alone?"You just know. It's like a big bell goes off. 'This is right now.' And it's something that is the same with a piece of prose writing. I can't explain that but I utterly know when something's right. At the same time, the reverse side of that is that you utterly know when something is not right. But knowing it's not right doesn't mean that you know how to get to where the bell goes off. I've put things out without waiting for the bell to go off, when they're not quite right but good enough."Will he tell me what they are?"No. But there's an internal thing that defies all logic. Surely, all of these things are subjective. What is right to one person is not right to another, but there is something in me - and I know it exists in others - where it's not a subjective thing, there's an utter certainty when something is right. And a nagging, cold dissatisfaction and itch when it's not."Meanwhile, after a 40-year career in the music industry, Don Walker is still touring large shows with a full band, and smaller intimate shows to just a few dozen people."The beauty of doing things like that is to deliberately put myself in a situation where I didn't know if I could pull it off and I had to do some work. I had to do a lot of preparation and figure out a lot of things I hadn't had to figure out before to make a show of that length work with just me and the piano."I suggest that to do so is gutsy."It's not so much the size of the audience. It doesn't really matter. It's what's going on onstage. In that situation I have no band and nothing to hide behind. So I have to make it work with those few tools. That's confronting. I did a night in Nundle and it worked. The night I did in Mayfield, the first set didn't work. I just couldn't make it work. The second set worked and everybody got it and we all had a good time.""I'm hoping that they didn't feel like it was a waste of their time. That they're thinking, 'That was a worthwhile thing to do'. That's what I'm wishing and hoping for. People's time and attention is valuable and if you're going to use it up you've got to do something worthwhile, make it work, and try and figure out a way of transporting them into the stories.""Sometimes you don't manage that and if you don't manage that, well that's a failure and instead of transporting them somewhere, you've seat-belted them into a dark little room for an hour when they could have been enjoying themselves."When all is said and done, what does Don Walker feel he's gotten right?"The things that I've done right have nothing to do with music because they're far more fundamental things than that, and they're not public things. There haven't been many of them and there's a lot of things I've done wrong. But they're the things in the end.""While I've been doing this interview, I've got a call from my daughter. It's in that world where you really succeed or fail. If there's a couple of things I like myself for, it's in that world."And with that, I encourage Don Walker to go and call his daughter.Tracks: Choir Girl, Hully Gully, Khe Sanh, Pool, The Way You Are Tonight (Missy Higgins version), Saturday Night.
