Originally interviewed in 2006, the then 82-year-old Clem Gracie tells of being born in 1924 on a kitchen table. From those memories we follow his story of growing up in the difficult post-depression years.
In doing so he shares his not so great years in school and then his unusual experiences in the army during WW!!
However it’s his music that features heavily during this weeks and next weeks story, that really is the highlight of his story, for as Clem declares, “He’s a rich man, he’s full of notes”, musical notes that is.
Incidentally all the piano playing you hear during this program is Clem. This program became an award winner in the 2006 OPSO Media Awards up against large media/news organisations that included the ABC – “Clem Gracie: A Man and His Music.”
