MAESTRO ON THE MIC….

Maestro on the Mic between 9.00 a.m. and 11.00 a.m. on Saturdays;  the highest rating program bursting and blasting its way out of Upweyyyyyyyy…

Saturday 5 September, 2026 with  good Australian music, plus some from overseas!  An interview with Jock Serong about a real pants man, Fletcher Jones.

 

What we did today:

 
Love on the radio – Skyhooks (from the album Ego)
If I should fall behind – Bruce Springsteen (Live in Dublin)
For no one – Joe Dolce (The Wind Cries Mary)
Butterflies – Kate Miller-Heidke (The Kiss And The Abyss)
I could die looking at you – Jordie Lane
This too shall pass – Serge And The Currents
Lost in space – Now Sounds Midwest (First Sounds 14)

We interviewed Jock Serong about his book ‘A Suitable Man’  published by Harper Colins and consisting of 456 pages with photographs for those who don’t like reading.  It's  a great read,  well researched and written.  Jock spoke about coming from a lawyer background and going from job security and a good income to the becoming a full time author of seven books.  And more!  Fletcher Jones was a man who had many challenges throughout his life not the least being his mother dying when he was  2, having a stutter, learning to read in his 20s and making his fortune which he shared amongst his employees.  His experiences in war, coming from poverty to  running a successful business from Warrnambool. This is a pants man to admire and respect.
