從電視上”RockWiz” 看到的這位 Aboriginal singer(唱 From little things big things grow”, 我想起了另一位天才 Aboriginal singer, 他是盲人, 但他作的歌極為動聽, 完全不知道他唱什麼(因為他用土話唱), 但是旋律非常優美, 他是use left hand, and he can't play the guitar in the begining. As a child he learn to play it up side down, and then finally he know how to play it better, and now he still play it up side down.
This is his story:

I saw a gram call "RockWiz", Saw a Aboriginal singer, he sing "From little things big things grow", it is so good! So I asked Edward what is the name of this song, He told me that is Paul Kelly wrote it:
他是澳大利亞人, 寫給Aboriginal people who flight for their land. 主意是叫他不要放棄, 什麼事都是從小到大的. 非常好聽又有意思的歌:0

From Little Things Big Things Grow lyrics
Gather round people let me tell you're a story
An eight year long story of power and pride
British Lord Vestey and Vincent Lingiarri
Were opposite men on opposite sides
Vestey was fat with money and muscle
Beef was his business, broad was his door
Vincent was lean and spoke very little
He had no bank balance, hard dirt was his floor
From little things big things grow
From little things big things grow
Gurindji were working for nothing but rations
Where once they had gathered the wealth of the land
Daily the pressure got tighter and tighter
Gurindju decided they must make a stand
They picked up their swags and started off walking
At Wattie Creek they sat themselves down
Now it don't sound like much but it sure got tongues talking
Back at the homestead and then in the town
From little things big things grow
From little things big things grow
Vestey man said I'll double your wages
Seven quid a week you'll have in your hand
Vincent said uhuh we're not talking about wages
We're sitting right here till we get our land
Vestey man roared and Vestey man thundered
You don't stand the chance of a cinder in snow
Vince said if we fall others are rising
From little things big things grow
From little things big things grow
Then Vincent Lingiarri boarded an aeroplane
Landed in Sydney, big city of lights
And daily he went round softly speaking his story
To all kinds of men from all walks of life
And Vincent sat down with big politicians
This affair they told him is a matter of state
Let us sort it out, your people are hungry
Vincent said no thanks, we know how to wait
From little things big things grow
From little things big things grow
Then Vincent Lingiarri returned in an aeroplane
Back to his country once more to sit down
And he told his people let the stars keep on turning
We have friends in the south, in the cities and towns
Eight years went by, eight long years of waiting
Till one day a tall stranger appeared in the land
And he came with lawyers and he came with great ceremony
And through Vincent's fingers poured a handful of sand
From little things big things grow
From little things big things grow
That was the story of Vincent Lingairri
But this is the story of something much more
How power and privilege can not move a people
Who know where they stand and stand in the law
From little things big things grow
From little things big things grow
From little things big things grow
From little things big things grow

Edward also has one CD of JJ cale
Magnolia(我家也有一顆白色Magnolia 耶!!!):
Tijuana (Tijuana is the town on the Mexican side across the border from San Diego, where the main business is smuggling people and contraband)
Cajun Moon (Cajun is the americanized word for the Arcadians, Arcadians are German religious people that were persecuted in Germany and moved to Canada where they suffered the same fate, until they finally moved to the American South, settling around the New Orleans area where they continued their own tradition and developed what we now call the Cajun culture with their own food and music that is so popular now)
Call me the breeze:

why we likes JJ cale, it is because he has a talent to use a songs telling a current affair.
Just like the Tijuana Lyrics:
Just below san Diego
Tijuana, land of broken dreams
Senoritas (Mexican girls) dancing in the moonlight
Flashing Spanish dark eyes to everyone, it seems
They say "hey, gringo (White American man)
Can you take us across the border
Just tell them I'm your daughter
Of a local."
Down the backstreets, through the alleys
All the young men stand with pride
They guard the palace to the kingdom
Called Tijuana, their heritage they decide (they are proud of where come from - Mexico)
They say "hey, gringo
Can you take us across the border
We'll work for just a quarter ( we are happy to work for 1/4 of the money that you earn)On the other side
(the faint Mexican guitar in the background gives it a real authentic scene)
