Thanks! PS I have lived on the Coast for about 5 years now and every time I drive past Waterview Cres I have a look and I have never seen mud flats? Any idea why? Some of the wharves in the film are still there and a few years ago I got dad to stand with them in the background and took pics. Nothing had changed in all those years. Extra info for you. My Grandfather (the fisherman) worked as a guard on the railway at Hornsby and the family would stay at the Tascott house which was owned by his brother Jack (Jack Englert - "Englert's at Ryde" Ford dealers). Granddad would get the trains to throw a sack of coal from the train at Tascott as they went past (tooting the horn to let them know) and dad would take a wheel barrow across to the station and collect the sack. When filming dad walking on the flats dad cut his foot on a bit of glass!
@@gemstudiosaustralia887 wow thats an awesome story thankyou! Yeah I research and hunt all along Tascott, Point Clare and Koolewong for many years in the mud for old bottles. Defintely lot of broken bottles there and I always wear thick shoes and 3 pairts of socks. Im not convinced that is Victory Parade or Waterview Crescent in the video-but it could well be. The waterline hosues opposite definitely look familiar like Koolewong. However In re watching it I think it is Tascott mud flats must have been a very low tide. Usually not that exposed
Yes we even showed a photo of 9 Orme Court shortly after. Geoff was talking freely without a script and was correct even though he said "I think it was".
Of course. But many people are letting me know they had no idea about his trumpet playing. And many are telling me they had never heard of Spike till now. The whole idea of the film really
Iirc he was chosen as the UK's most promising jazz trumpeter in 1939. A fellow youngster was George Sheering who chose to go to the USA as he couldn't do army service.

A truly brilliant video about a truly brilliant personality. A lovely larrikin with talent unmatched. Unique in every way. I shall be watching this clip over and over, and telling all my Goon loving friends to crank it up as well. Thank You!
Thank you so much. Please subscribe to my channel and especially check out my two international multi award winning other short films. And ask your friends to join us as well. Cheers
An extraordinary duet. I met Spike once at BBC Ealing Film Studios. He was recording piano music for his Q8 series, and complained that the drinking water he had been given was 18 years old!

This was great. I had no idea of his links to Woy Woy. It's wonderful that he is so fondly remembered there. In the 1990's I stood in line for a book signing by Spike in Manchester (England). A few minutes before I reached him, a phone began to ring in the shop and after the fifth ring he stood up, turned around and shouted at the top of his voice " will someone answer that bloody phone"! They did, and it reminded me that he really liked quietness and hated muzak/piped music. His signature on the photo in the museum also reminded me how carefully he signed my book. He signed his name in legible copper plate that took time to write (not a quickly dashed off squiggle). So, thank you for making and sharing this film.

It's not the point of this video. You can find the original online. After googling, put your left hand on your right ear and your right hand on your left ear and pull your head outta your butt!
He is not the only one. I agree with Cameron. Do you have any idea the work, time and effort that went into this short film? I don't have the time to re-record anything so 1 person can be happy. The duets are the reason for the film. The original performances are on RU-vid

That was very good thanks,. really enjoyed,. I too grew up with the Goon shows.. The musical duet was brilliant to see,. I wonder if the cornet mouthpiece was as such, so that it could be quickly changed onto another instrument ? - or perhaps to give the cornet a different sound that Spike preferred ?,.. //.. It is said that,. '''I told you I was ill''' on his headstone was considered too flippant - it was done - but in Irish,. [ Dúirt mé leat go raibh mé breoite ] I looked at,. and marked both of the properties on Google Earth.
Thx for the compliment. Spike started as a trumpet player so would have been more used to a trumpet mouthpiece. Same for me I prefer a trumpet mp but use standard cornet MPs when playing cornet
Nice documentary 👌 A very funny man and an excellent musician. He definitely got the last laugh with the immortal words, 'I told you I was ill', carved onto his tombstone. Brilliant!! 😀 Greetings from Roy's brother in the UK

Great Greg! I love one of Spikes sayings: " My father was a soldier, which meant that he was a warrior, which meant that he was important. My mother rode a horse and sang in the Governor-General's band, so that made her important as well." Spike Milligan
