Some music tiptoes into your life from the edges. Maybe you’ve never owned an album or can’t even remember where you heard the music. It was just there. In the musical catalogue of your mind. Familiar, comforting, haunting in the manner of a good memory from the past.

Maybe you’ve sat on the lounge room floor as two families come together for a rare moment that won’t oft be repeated. Watching the joy of another magical moment in time called Roy Orbison and Friends – A Black and White Night Live.

The Big O.
One of a kind.
