    For this new upload, I've combined the best video & audio sources available and fixed some issues - the whole feature is now in HQ stereo sound and looks much clearer. Here's a link to the previous version for comparison:

      They're just normal Acoustic Guitars. 6 String for Bruce and 12 for Keith. I believe theirs just some odd doubling or phaser effect happening due to the way the broadcast was recorded.@@dlk1dlk1They're also probably electric acoustics, so being pluged directly into the sound system gives them an odd sound.

    I have no idea how I missed this tragic news. Judith was my first crush (I was 5 years old) I can remember sitting on my big sisters knee and being captivated by her voice. My sister passed away during the covid pandemic and sitting at the service it was this happy memory that got me through. Words like legend and national treasure are thrown around like confetti these days and in doing so those words meanings are diluted. Judith, on the other hand, is the epitome of the true meaning of the aforementioned words. So, from a 6'4" hairy arsed Scot who seems to be crying like the wee 5 year old boy, please accept my sincerest condolences, your country has lost a real star.

    At 80, I never thought any music other than classical could ever again bring such deep and satisfying joy to my mind and soul. Recently after this magnificent woman had passed away, I started finding all these comments praising her as a person and as a phenomenal singer. So, I started investigating these accolades concerning her. How is it possible I had lived all these years with no knowledge whatsoever of this incredible woman? I had heard some of her and their songs in the past, but only as background music on a car radio.
    Now, I cannot get enough of Judith. If it's possible to fall in love with someone who is no longer here, that has been my fate. I have observed her life from a girl to an old(er) woman, and her perfect voice and awesome
    personality, her character, her genuine enthusiasm for life, her utter lack of even a trace of sleazy behavior or attitude.......has simply seized control of my mind. The voice,
    the genuineness, the authentic womanliness......she owns my affection forever.

      She would be SOO honored to hear that. I think she would feel like she doesn’t deserve it. But I am beginning to agree.

    No denying Judith had a powerful and unique voice. It's a great combo: the 3 fellas + Judith.

    I am Canadian and I am proud to have Australian friends. I love the country having traveled there twice and if I had to leave Canada, my destination would be Australia. Thank you.
