Welcome to Listen To Older Voices, a program produced by 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.
This is the 3rd and final part of the Life and Times of 69 year old music legend, Phil Manning. In this final part of his story Phil continues the stories of his solo career. But there is more to Phil than his love for music, and his talent for playing guitar. Phil looks at the current state of the Australian music scene and the decline of quality venues, particularly in regional areas.
Yet it is in this part of his story that we learn much about Phil Manning, citizen of planet Earth. Phil is completely comfortable sharing his thoughts and feelings on a range of social issues and by the end of his story, while we are left wanting more, we realize that this is a complex man who is quite at ease with his stage of life, a man who is part of a loving family, and who still finds time to play his guitar.
