Episode notes

"'All those smiling faces' fitted the chords, then it felt like, alright, I'm on the way to a song" - Paul Kelly

Paul's song is inspired by poets from England and Poland, Paul's family and the concept of heredity.

The first thing Paul did was tune the One Guitar down a tone.

About the guitar

It's a Gibson J45 Vintage Sunburst, a model nicknamed "The Workhorse".

First released in 1942 it has a storied history with many famous artists relying on its mahogany construction along with renowned "full, balanced expression, warm bass and excellent projection".

A very warm thanks to Chris at Australis Music for supplying this magnificent instrument.
