SAMPLES:

COLOUR MY WORLD

When Petula Clark released this song written by Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent in 1966, her record subtly included the raga-inspired sounds of the early psychedelic era. The backing for this harmonica and harmony guitar instrumental emphasises that effect. Groovy man! CANDY MAN

Meeting Roy Orbison in 1976 and then seeing his concert at The Sydney Opera House was a huge thrill. A gentle man and a true legend, this is my tribute to him and to Charlie McCoy who played harmonica on the original recording.
