Welcome to Listen To Older Voices, a program produced Rob Greaves for Wesley Mission Victoria and podcast through the Toorak Times.
Listen To Older Voices presents the stories, views and opinions of our older citizens. It is predominantly in a life & times format, with interviewees reflecting upon their lives from earliest memories. An underlying principal of the program is to promote the concept of positive ageing, reinforcing the principle that older people have & continue to make a valuable contribution to both their local & wider community.
Sam See was born a Baby Boomer, when he was born at Darlinghurst in NSW in 1949. Like all Australian kids he experienced a great life growing up in the post WWII Australian society and he transferred his love of music from a hobby to a profession. This week we learn a lot more of Sam and his musical passions as well as the many seminal and much loved groups he was part of, and mixed with. Such bands include Sherbet, The Flying Circus, Fraternity, The Johnny Farnham Band and others.
As his story unfolds we learn about his musical adventures in the USA, especially living in San Francisco in the very early 1970’s, and his time in Canada. There real highs and desperate lows and when the adventures were over it was time to return to Australia, where he was immediately “grabbed” by another Australian band, and taken to England.
