What's the best song about a former Australian colony? Is it Toto Africa, Men at Work, Down Under, or for completeness, Split Ends, Six Months in a Leaky Boat, New Zealand, Don McLean, American Pie, U2's Sunday Bloody Sunday, Ireland, and Gorillas, Hong Kong, Stan Rogers, Northwest Passage.
Tom JonesHOST
Do you have a preference, Jason?
Jason TupnerHOST
Okay, so basically the last four I'd rule out because they're not well-known in Australia.
Sean NewmanHOST
this airs, it'll be less than that.
Ches CrosbieGUEST
Do you know that song, uh, by Stan Rogers, Barrett's Privateers? "I'm the last of Barrett's privateers.
Ches CrosbieGUEST

You look around and you see 33-year-old Stan Rogers.
speaker_2HOST
He's a rising folk music star who openly hates flying, by the way.
speaker_2HOST
He's just trying to get through the trip to his next gig.
9 MINS LATER
speaker_3HOST
He

knows the impact is coming, and he wants his body to be identifiable for his new wife.
speaker_2HOST
And Stan Rogers, the musician, he's facing the exact nightmare scenario that made him hate flying in the first place.
speaker_3HOST
The psychological weight of that descent cannot be overstated.
DarylHOST
Having played that, I thought, well, I need something nautical to follow that with.
DarylHOST
So I went to Stan Rogers and a track from way back.
DarylHOST
The album came out in 1993 and it was kind of a – I don't know why it didn't appear in a studio album.
DarylHOST
This was a posthumous release called Home in Halifax, a live track.
Brittany SlayesGUEST

On the first day, when a number of us were sitting under a tree for shade because we'd all come two hours early for the opening, I thought, what if I just started singing right now? Something appropriate.
Mark KilfoilHOST
Something like, you know, a Stan Rogers tune, which would be very well known, most likely, among the people that are there, because they're most likely from the Maritimes.
Mark KilfoilHOST
And that music does resonate a lot and is still performed all the time at bars.
Mark KilfoilHOST
Or something like Drunken Sailor, whatever.
