Clarky's Closet
I narrate stories about, and the background to, my albums and my musicals. These include: Rock Songs, Love Songs, Children's Songs, Pop Songs, Sing Along with History songs and one longer show about how I put the entire poem of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor to music. In this show I play all 21 songs that I wrote to cover the entire poem.
The other 35 shows contain five or six songs and one final podcast 37, where I talk about my Memories of Pip, when I played that part in the ABCs 1973 version of 7 Little Australians.
