Second transmission of third Happy Station for April 8th, 2009 at 1500UTC

Hi Everyopne,
Just want to let you know my guest on the April 8th Happy Station at 1500UTC is going to be legionary Australian pop singer Frank Ifield. During the 1960's Frank had hits such as I Remember You, The Summer Is Over, Wayward Wind, Please and others. People may not know that but in the early 1960's 4 lads from Liverpool or the Beatles were his opening act. I have known Frank and his wife for almost 20 years now and 4 years ago had the pleasure of hosting a 6 part radio series about the history of Australian music with him. Something you may not have known about him, but Frank use to listen to Happy Station as a boy in the 50s and use to listen from time to time until the late 1980s. He has a funny memory about meeting Eddy Startz while in tour in Holland in the mid 1960s. We will keep that part for a whole different show. If any of you would like to take part in the interview feel free to email me what ever questions you may have for Frank or even record them.

Keith
