They tell stories. Reminiscing on just one such personal experience, I decided to share this with all my readers of eLanka, numbering over 20.000, to date.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0This happened in Melbourne, Australia in the mid 70&#8217;s. I was well into my 2&#8217;nd part-time job, as an &#8220;entertainer&#8221; &amp; &#8220;floorshow artiste&#8221;, Venue being &#8220;The Rising-Sun&#8221; Pub., in Richmond. It was a Saturday evening, my 2nd appearance in as many weeks, at the pub, a large popular one, with a &#8220;dining room&#8221; adjacent to the massive &#8220;men-only&#8221; bar, as was the custom at the time. Ladies, with or without partners were always welcome to the dining room only.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The band was the same Italian 4piece combo., that I had rehearsed with, &amp; performed with, the previous week. My job with them was to sing a few special requests of their Saturday night customers, backed by Antonio &amp; his band, go to the office, collect my fee &amp; go home, hoping to be asked back the following week, a simple but enjoyable part-time job.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0On this particular night, I sat alone at my table, having a cold beer, waiting to be called up on-stage, this guy walked in, up to my table &amp; said &#8220;hi, mite&#8221;. At once, I knew he was an Aussie bloke, because of his accent, said hello &amp; introduced myself. He said &#8220;I know who you are mite, came last Satdy &amp; heard your show&#8221;. He was still standing there, so I asked him to sit down, &amp; whether he wanted a beer ?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">He agreed, sat down and I called up a young waitress to bring us an extra beer. What was strange about this encounter was the fact that he did not introduce himself, just telling me that he was also a musician, and could he &#8220;back me up&#8221; as I did my show. I was taken aback by his request. He was somewhat shabbily dressed, so, not to be rude, I just told him that Antonio the band leader would probably say &#8220;no way&#8221;&amp; anyway, I wasn&#8217;t in a position to authorise it, but he said &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry mite, I won&#8217;t even come up on stage. You guys will not even know I&#8217;m there&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Then, he just stood up, walked out the front door, and I must say that I felt a sense of relief, hoping that this guy was just having me on, for the sake of a free beer. I carried on with the meal I had ordered, got myself a second beer and listened to the music, waiting for 9.30 pm &amp; my introduction &#8220;on-stage&#8221;. Antonio did the usual introduction, I walked up, the dining room lights were dimmed to create a special atmosphere, and I started on my first song which was &#8220;Walk right back&#8221;. The band was right into it, but as the musical interlude came up, from a darkened corner of the room came this solo sound of a &#8220;horn&#8221; trumpet or cornet, it didn&#8217;t really matter. Mixing in subtly with the band, sounding so very good, Antonio looked shell-shocked but happy at the same time, letting this unseen horn player carry on, backing me as though he had rehearsed every song I sang that night, and there were about eight of them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I finished my show. The applause was even better than the previous week, and I knew why. I walked back to my table, hoping to shake this guy&#8217;s hand, buy him another beer and tell him how much everyone in that pub enjoyed his music, but my new &#8220;mite&#8221; was nowhere to be seen. He had walked out, just as he walked in, and here I was, hoping against hope that we would have the pleasure of his musicianship when next I sang at the &#8220;Rising Sun&#8221;.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0As I said before, strange things happen occasionally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">We never did see this superb musician again, the sad fact is, I don&#8217;t even know his name, but I dedicate my song-clip with this article, to him. &#8220;Stories in song&#8221;, sometimes do come true.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4OwRp49x-FI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/desmond-1-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13035\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/desmond-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Desmond Kelly\" width=\"125\" height=\"178\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Desmond Kelly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">\u00a0 \u00a0Star of eLanka<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">\u00a0 (Editor-in-Chief).<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STORIES IN SONG &#8211; By Des Kelly \u00a0 \u00a0 Strange things happen occasionally.\u00a0 Because of the fact that I love music in general, all types of music, but certainly music that &#8220;tells a story&#8221;, while browsing through the many CD&#8217;s I have recorded, I suddenly came across one with the &#8220;title&#8221; of the above article, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":29002,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"aside","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,1104],"tags":[4784,4783],"class_list":{"0":"post-29000","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-aside","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-articles","8":"category-desmond-kelly","9":"tag-antonio-his-band","10":"tag-stories-in-song","11":"post_format-post-format-aside"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7.1 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>STORIES IN SONG - By Des Kelly<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Strange things happen occasionally.\u00a0 Because of the fact that I love music in general, all types of music, but certainly music that &quot;tells a story&quot;, while browsing through the many CD&#039;s I have recorded, I suddenly came across one with the &quot;title&quot; of the above article, containing songs that do exactly what I am talking about.
