Barry Humphries presents a selection of his musical memories and aims to transport listeners to a bygone era with vintage recordings by artists, who made their names during the age of the wireless. As a little boy growing up in far-off Melbourne during the 1930s and 40s, Barry was captivated by the sounds and music emanating from his parents' wireless set. During childhood illnesses, Barry's mother placed the radio set in his bedroom and little Barry was so entranced by the music that he tried to make whooping cough, measles and mumps last as long as possible. Barry's early musical memories include Fred Astaire, Flanagan and Allen, The Comedian Harmonists, Joseph Schmidt, Harry Roy and Judy Garland among others. Show less
