Hello
everybody…….See Hear episode 44 here…..
Every
music scene has its local heroes….those musicians who are a
well-kept secret from the rest of the world, but gig goers wish more
people knew about them. Melbourne film-maker Chris Franklin has made
it his mission to document musicians in his local scene. Bernard was
absent, but Tim and Maurice invited Chris to talk about his latest
short film in adherence to that mission, “Chris Wilson – Live At
The Continental”.
Melbourne
musicians Chris Wilson and Shane O’Mara along with pianist Jex
Saarelaht released a beloved album in 1994 called “Live At The
Continental”. (The Continental Café’ was a favourite haunt for
the best local and international songwriters and musicians).
Franklin
shows Chris and Shane recalling the circumstances behind that album,
but ended up putting together something more broad and substantial.
Even if you don’t know who they are, their commonality to any
musician is the great art that is created when honesty, humour and
trust overrides commercial success for its own sake. Every city
around the world that celebrates its local musicians has its own
Chris and Shane.
Tim
and Maurice were extremely grateful to have Chris Franklin take the
time to talk about this wonderful short film, and hope you find the
conversation enjoyable.
NOTE:
This
episode was recorded a year and a half before the sad passing of
Chris Wilson which makes this filmed document all the more valuable.
Chris Franklin has made his film freely available to watch on Youtube
