A daily routine at 6:30pm
Switch to ABC TV for
Get To Know (GTK).
And, in 10 minutes,
We do “get to know”
News, interviews & performance,
Often live studio performances.
On Monday evenings
A voice – soft, smooth, almost sacred
Gives us, finally, a radio alternative
Albeit brief – only 2 hours!
Chris Winter’s: Room To Move.
Extra:
This is from GTK in the late 1960’s – each of the short 10 minutes was packed with interesting and informative material.

Class sing along.
ABC radio – folk-tunes.
We start, hand raised.
“Put your hand down Bruce.”
|| : New song. Hand. “Bruuuce!” : ||
Repeat until …
Program concludes.
Hand hits air.
“WHAT IS IT, BRUCE!” fortissimo (ff), annoyed.
"What is it, Bruce." That's Bruce in the middle. Bruce "The Goose" Turner.
Bruce, meekly:
“Mr Spence, your fly’s undone, sir.”
Songbook lowers, covers gap,
Mr Spence exits classroom.
Class CRACKS!

* Thanks to Ian Elliott for helping me with this Short Memory. While I have vivid memories of the main elements of this Ian filled in some forgotten detail.
