The Seekers - "I am Australian."

They look a little older here.  This is at the Spirit of Australia Day celebration.  That looks like Slim Dusty in the audience (the guy with the Akubra and the hook nose.)

If you did not know it, the Seekers are Aussies.

The Seekers: "I'll Never Meet Another You"

The Seekers were a folk group during the mini "folk" boom of the '50s and '60s.  When I first heard this song, I did not the antecedent of "you."  Eine Schade!  You can have the lyrics displayed while they sing.

"Mit siebzehn"

Jasmine Bonnin sings live on the Dorffmann & King-Show.  This is a Joni Mitchell song.  Very pretty.  Very well done.  Poignant.  In german.


Noch Einmal

And then you can hear the German version "in our streets."  Never in our streets of course.


Jasmine Bonnin sings a compact and powerful version in German:- "Strassen unserer Stadt."  it is too easy to think this is a song about somewhere else. 

The Power of Folk songs

Teller sings "The Streets of London."  I have heard folksingers sing this in many a place, often changing the lyrics to reflect where we were.  It is evocative, haunting.
