They both broke out of jail And walked quickly to the nearest hill Where they looked back upon the scale Of what they'd done to get to the hill And they had their songs packed away

I say Grant and I and I get caught out.

Yes, that's true.

It begins with Grant and I meeting at Queensland University in 1975 and goes right up until his death in 2006.

That's true.

I've made three albums over the last 11 years.

So I continue to write songs.

I continue to enjoy that.

It's a little bit to my surprise.

I thought I might have stopped by now, but songs keep on coming and I enjoy performing.

So I keep recording and keep going.

A book that I liked a lot was In the Quest for the Quest of Queen Mary by James Hennessy.

This book came out last year, and I'm someone that looks at what novelists or writers in general say are their favourite books of the year, and I sort of get tips from that.

And especially if a book pops up a couple of times,

I make special note of it.

And this book came up and I bought it and read it.

And it's a very complicated story behind the book.
