I have mentioned Jimmy Little here before. A truly great Australian man and musician. I have loved him since I was a very little girl. His song "Royal Telephone" was so dear to me when I was little. I was always singing it and believed in the lyric. I now know it is an adaption of a Lutheran hymn.
We are so lucky to still have Jimmy and his music with us. He was very very ill last year, in desperate need of a kidney transplant, but that didn't stop him touring. He was about to do a show when they rang him to get back home as a suitable donor had become available.Thank heavens it was a success.
He recorded a couple of years ago with people like Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue and did some wonderful renditions of contemporary songs. He is about to release another album and my ears pricked up when I heard one of the songs was by U2. I've just checked it out

please indulge me...it's been a while since I've sung here
telephone to glory , oh what joy divine
I can feel the current moving down the line
Made by God the father for his very own
you can talk to Jesus on the royal telphone
Central's never busy , always on the line
you can talk to heaven almost anytime
there's a special service built for one and all
when you get in trouble
give this royal line a call........
I also once mentioned here, that Jimmy is a yorta yorta man and his tribe put in a land claim on their traditional homelands. They failed because they could not prove continuing occupation. They were robbed imho. They were rounded up like sheep, or worse and put on reservations, seperated from their families, abused. It was tragic, but being the great man that he is, Jimmy accepted the decision and moved on...did I ask too much more than a lot..?
No you didn't Jimmy, you've done nothing but give.
