G'day Don, Working with Amazing People such as Noni, Benita and Funny John must have truly been a career highlight for You. Are there any memories of Teaming up with John, that stand out in particular for You? Who can forget Play School at The Beach with Monica joining in on the fun as well.

Loved seeing Don in the old Play School clips, especially at the piano with Benita and Warren, and with John Hamblin. I wish the ABC would put up old 80's Play School episodes for us to relive our childhoods.

Don did Play School up until 1999, but he didn’t do many episodes after 1986.

Congratulations Don. You have been such a huge part of my life and now my young children are sharing the same passion for your music. I wish the ABC would open their archives so that we could watch all your episodes of Play School over the years. Maybe one day. Take care mate. Thumbs up 👍

Hi! My favourite song ever, Fireball XL5! I've been singing it all day everyday for almost 60 years! I'd love to know how you happened to record that and how the session went and who the other musicians were. It's a true masterpiece! Do you still sing it?
@Iggywiggywoo3 жыл бұрын
Hey Don, something else I'd like to know just out of interest. Is says on Wikipedia and IMDB that you were on Play School from 1968 to 1999. From what I understand, you were a regular presenter from 1968 to 1986 and then appeared as an occasional guest from 1987 to 1999. Is that right?

G'day Don, I'm looking for a song of yours. It's called Cooee, but it's not the one with the lyrics "Can you hear the sound of the wind in the eucalyptus tree?" I'm looking for the other Cooee song with the lyrics "Lift your voice up to the sky start it low and finish high!" Is it available on KZbin?

Don - I loved watching you on Play School here in the UK in the 70s and 80s. Was great to see you on this interview. You and the other presenters are so fondly remembered by people who watched you on the BBC.
