But we like to think we do.
Yep, for a couple of years.
Hahahahahaha!
Also remembered, my primary school principle was married to Jack Hamilton (of AFL administration fame)
Now we're stretching!
sure, why not
He is all our bros.
I was in awe that he managed his Fast Forward commitments while still practicing as a barrister for all those years.
I wasn't ever surprised by that. He won his scholarship to Melbourne Uni by cramming the night before the exams. I worked my backside off to get good marks- but not up to his. He was writing material at Uni- even before he started doing it for revues. (I can remember one he wrote about the college desserts- to the tune of "I've grown accustomed to her face"- "I've got a custard that's defaced".
He enjoyed singing by wasn't a good singer. He did not enjoy playin the trumpet but was a great player.
Like I said, a brilliant guy.
Did his dad ever go to watch you play?
I used to work with Jimmy Barnes.
Not the singer. Just some bloke called Jimmy Barnes.
No, but we used to play covers of Jimmy's songs and David could belt them out pretty good.
Does it really matter though. It is interesting how many of us know personally, or via friends someone who is either "famous" or at least well known.
I find it interesting and I forgot my other "famous" link... My boss back in 1984 is Bernard Fanning's dad and my hubby went to uni with his older brother. We went to a fancy dress party at his house once, and I think he was probably the younger kid in his pajamas.
Did you stay at Whitley College??
I know a lot of people who are regularly in the news, but I think to call them "famous" is a bit of a stretch (esspecially if you dont live in WA).

My brother knew Heath Ledger reasonably well, and is also good friends with Tim Minchin - who is probably the most naturally funny person I have ever met. One night over dinner he had about 10 of us in tears for about 30mins discussing the worst thing about being a comedian was that everyone expected you to be funny the whole time. He wasn't even meaning to be funny and went through the whole time with a perfectly straight face, while none of us could breath due to laughter.
