Here's the John Farnham Wishlist: buymeacoffee.com/teacherpaul/wishlist

[@AussieDebb]

By the way, Bob Hawke was the grey haired man who you saw a profile pic of and he was behind John when he was singing ☺

[@bernadettelanders7306]

@@AussieDebb First song just finished. My uncle played double bass with the Melbourne and Victorian Symphony orchestras. In John’s time? Noooo😩lol. If only 😩loI. I remember one concert in particular at the Melbourne town hall, it was a high school outing. I remember his music room. Looking at double bass from probably 6 feet away - NEVER ever allowed close or touch it lol. A lovely man, he was Hungarian, he, uncle Imre always sounded very strict. But his wife, my auntie Maisie was so beautiful, smiling, elegant and her perfume always smelled beautiful. I told uncle Imre how lovely she smelled. When she passed he gave me a scarf of hers with the smell of that beautiful perfume. I still have it. Sadly she had severe dementia as she aged & was in a nursing home, couldn’t speak, only garbled noises, heartbreaking. Uncle said, shhh to my mum and I and said listen. He started to hum some of Bach’s music. I watched her go completely calm and she hummed along to every note. The power of music is unbelievably beautiful. Uncle Imre passed a few years later. There is a photo of him somewhere on line - Imre Pallos Victorian Symphony orchestra. So that’s my story - so go to sleep 💤 now lol. Oh I haven’t even finished listening to your show - pass the popcorn please Deb lol 🍿

[@AussieDebb]

By the way Paul it's Brisbun - we Aussies are a bit lazy with our word endings LOL,!!

[@mssuziquzi]

What an entertainer. He’s not just the greatest singer on the planet but a genuine nice guy who calls all his musicians and backup singers his friends. Thanks guys and thanks Aussie Deb.♥️

[@7Sandie]

The kindest, gentlest, most generous entertainer in Australia

[@julzhunt7790]

Yep an all round beautiful human being 😊❤️🇦🇺👍🏼

[@KayCarmody-u4f]

I want to give my thanks to Deb who is doing so much work to show the world what a great guy John is apart from his great talent and at 83 I have been a fan all my life 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@AussieDebb]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@winsomeblandford1076]

Thank you Paul and Felipe for devoting so much of your time to John. As Aussie's we will not get sick of hearing him and it has been great catching up on some songs we may have missed. You are doing a great job. Grateful❤

[@narellesmith7932]

the MSO Conductor here recently passed away at 90 yrs old. it was a FANTASTIC concert.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ thanks Deb. Thanks Guys

[@AussieDebb]

Dobs Franks was his name wasn't it? 90.- wow RIP Dobs ♥️♥️

[@EileenSpeakman]

Oh, I googled him a little while ago. I was trying to find out the history/meaning of the christian name Dobbs. He looked as though he was having so much fun conduction alongside John, in fact the whole orchestra looked energised. . And I'd guess they never ever forgot that experience. July'24. UK. E❤

[@carolynh8866]

A symphony orchestra John Farnham, and a rock band...what more could you ask for.

[@karenstrong8887]

John like my husband came from England at 10 years old. They both think they are Australian and when John found out he was going to be Australian of the year he had 4 weeks to become a Citizen. My husband still hasn’t done this, he tells me he is Australian. When John finishes a concert he has introduced everyone on that stage. That Orchestra loved working with John and they had fun with him. Everyone he worked with was ready for the next time John needed them. John makes sure everyone gets to shine and he has taught me so much, that every person involved is important and they all have a name and a story. Thank you Deb and thank you both for your reaction.

[@AussieDebb]

Thanks Karen 🥰 Besides falling in love with John all over again, just meeting all of you is just so fantastic. xx

[@carolynh8866]

It was so good to see photos of John at his sons wedding yesterday. He's looking very well.

[@AussieDebb]

His eyes Carolyn - they have not lost any of that love, kindness, light. Thank you for tuning in and for your great comments. ❤❤

[@EileenSpeakman]

​@@AussieDebb Hi Debb - I look at pictures and videos of John and I see humility in his eyes. From the early days right until current. I love what you have done with this project - it's just brilliant. And it must have taken a lot of planning. . July'24. UK. E❤

[@AussieDebb]

​@@EileenSpeakmanYes, humility, definitely Eileen, kindness and love - he is a gift direct from God to us. ❤❤ I'm so happy you are enjoying them I just sent Part 10 to Paul so the next 5 episodes should go live soon 😂❤🎉

[@kethlyfallon5095]

Thanks Deb these have been great to watch so many memories ❤❤❤

[@nanalen60]

What a wonderful treat this series has been with you. 🎉

[@tonyb4115]

Thank so much Deb. Imagine if these guys actually got the chance to watch him live . Good job guys.

[@suewilkinson6103]

Thank you AussieDebb for your fabulous work. Also thank you Paul & Fellipe for getting to know & love our John like we all do. ❤

[@AussieDebb]

Thank you Sue - I have completed Parts 6 to 10 now but they have to all be recorded yet and probably have to wait for some unblocking to be done 🥰

[@alyn927]

So glad I found Teacher Paul and Philippe thanks firstly because of John of course but most definitely due to Aussie Deb thankyou all 👏👏👏 PS…. It is such a nice feeling when you know the lyrics and can sing along with everyone and the artist is happy for you to do so.

[@carolynh8866]

What a wonderful video and series you have been journeying through. Between you guys and Deb, we a getting so much more than reactions from any of the other reactors. Most reactors just see the same few performances over and over. What you guys are doing is giving people a glimpse of some of his other amazing music and his wonderful personality. It is so good to see John gaining new fans across the world and getting some long overdue recognition. John has always been a very private man and has been very reclusive since his cancer operation so sadly i doubt you will get that interview....but maybe one of his sons will. ❤❤

[@joanmonaghan8428]

The stage for the Expo 88 concert was set up over the Brisbane River and the audience sat wherever they could on the banks of the River. That's why Aussie Deb said people were there 8 hours before the concert because it was a case of first in for the better position, and if you got a good spot there was no way you were going to leave it !!! The atmosphere on the night was electric, and no one went home disappointed that night. But you never went home from a John Farnham concert without a big smile on your face.

[@tonyb4115]

I like to say 10 ft tall and bulletproof. And happy, so happy thankyou John.

[@amandameale6000]

In Australia, a supporting orchestra, a symphony orhestra, is rare. But he’s John Farnham.

[@paulinagarces4983]

Lovely video, I appreciate you are sharing this fantastic music. Thank you Aussie Deb.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Bobbygirl63]

First of all, thank you Paul and Philippe for these wonderful reactions, and thank you so, so much, @AussieDebb. I love it when I see someone who loves John as much as I do. I'm 71 years old, and I've followed John from Sadie to today. In all that time, there's hasn't been a day that I haven't listened to him, and his music still gives me goosebumps. I've been to dozens of his concerts. His music will never grow old to me. My children were bought up on Farnsey, and my grandchildren know his songs and love him, too. Even my very young great grandchildren know some of his songs. 4 generations of my family love him.

[@AussieDebb]

❤ Thank you Bobby and you're welcome. My children are also introducing their children to him. So good ❤

[@bernadettelanders7306]

Another fantastic review boys. Once again put together by wonderful Aussie Deb. I actually felt like I was at a concert - I pressed pause before the last song and got an ice-cream out of the freezer, just like interval lol. Terrific show put together and introductions and commentary by the boys, ‘triffic’ 😁

[@AussieDebb]

This was great guys - thank you so much. 🙏 I didnt repeat myself this time LOL!! The Age of Reason comes with each new generation. ❤

[@bernadettelanders7306]

I’m backkk Deb lol. It’s just starting, I’ve heard not,so no comment just yet 🤔😂

[@Jojomac-ix7oi]

Hi Deb, I have a couple of suggestions for 1996 and beyond. I'm thinking everytime you cry and who's lovin you with human nature. Don't know how far ahead you want to go. But I'm happy with anything you choose to do. ❤

[@AussieDebb]

@@Jojomac-ix7oi Funny you mention this. I was just looking at what year they recorded that last night LOL! Thinking of doing the Hey Hey It's Saturday version. Great minds think alike.There's so many beautiful songs from Romeos Heart ❤️ ☺️

[@Jojomac-ix7oi]

@AussieDebb I know. You can't go wrong with any of them. I had a couple of others, but they're gone from my head at the moment. I dont know if I've seen the Hey Hey version. How great were the photos of John and Rob. I still haven't come down from seeing them. It kinda brings tears to my eyes....happy tears.

[@AussieDebb]

@@Jojomac-ix7oi I know me too. I sent the Sunrise interview with Celine and the photos to Paul & Fellipe. I'm so looking forward to reading his book now ❤️

This is awesome ❤

[@julzhunt7790]

This was awesome. Thanks Deb, thanks guys. This gives you an insight as to why us Aussies love and adore our John. 😊❤️🇦🇺

[@AussieDebb]

Thank you Julz 😍 I thought I was going to have only a few to do, but of course, it's just grown and grown - I've just sent Part 10 to the boys and I'm in the planning stages of the next Series of 5 Parts. As I was working through the first few, I realised I can't just have them react to the music because there's so much more to John and what he's given not just to Australia but through us, his fans and You Tube, what he's giving to the world. 🥰

[@julzhunt7790]

@@AussieDebb you’re a bloody legend Deb and so is our John. Earth angels the pair of you. 😊👍🏼❤️

[@AussieDebb]

@julzhunt7790 That's so beautiful - thank you. I just got tears in my eyes 😍 John really brings out the best in us Farnsey fans. He certainly encourages me to be a better person, the more I listen to and research him. ❤❤

[@jayneattherock1083]

The First guy you said was 'Bob' wasn't, Bob Hawke is first seen at the 4:17 mark (side on view) and again at 4:53 (the grey haired man with red tie standing behind John ) - at 4:31, I believe it is John's Parents sitting at the table, (Jill, his wife, couldn't be there as she was only days away from giving birth to their 2nd son, and couldn't fly) .... - ebb - like the ebb and flow of the tide, - highs and lows, - the turning point. ... thankyou for reacting, and thankyou AussieDebb,

[@MaxHay-q9p]

AussieDeb, great compilation. Loving these videos. Fantastic effort.

[@AussieDebb]

I would definitely love Fellipe to do a Fan Art on John, and maybe when I have finished the series leading right up to his last live performance in 2022, it will inspire him more. I would love for the Fan Art to be presented to John by us ❤. His sons may be able to help out. John is still not doing interviews or public appearances since his operation, but he has written his autobiography, while recouperating, which is coming out later this year. ❤ Yes I had 3 very young children in 1988, but those children learned to love him too ❤😂🎉

[@magpiegirl3783]

A distinguishing feature of John’s performances from the beginning of his career, is the credit and acknowledgement he gives the musicians who perform with him, and they often feature in solos. He’s had the best musicians support him. If you guys haven’t heard of it, you might want to check out his Main Event concert with Olivia Newton John and Anthony Warlow.

[@carolynh8866]

Thanks

[@TeacherPaulReacts]

Thank you Carolyn! 🙏

[@joanmonaghan8428]

The person you thought was Bob Hawke wasn't. He was Wayne Gardner, 1987 World Champion 500cc Motorcycle Grand Prix. He was the first Australian to win this award.

[@juliemcaleese5921]

Absolutely bloody ledgen ❤

[@r.fairlie7186]

Paul, you saw an unfamiliar word here - “ebb”. It usually means the action of the tide when the water recedes away from the shore. When you want to describe both directions it’s “ebb and flow”. The actions of rising and falling can invoke a similar idea.

[@TeacherPaulReacts]

Thank you! 👏👏

[@AussieDebb]

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I'm really loving doing this and learning so much more about our Johns legacy ❤

[@EileenSpeakman]

Hi Debb, hope you're doing okay. Wimbledon tennis has finished here so normal service has resumed and I'm looking forward to parts 6+. It's great to have all these lovely clips in each video. It takes me a long time to read the few notifications I get daily ( on a variety of subjects) so I can only guess at how much time you spend putting these videos together. Great work, and this girl really appreciates them. July'24. UK. E❤

[@AussieDebb]

@@EileenSpeakman Thank you Eileen. Yes I'm well and I hope you are too. So busy at work, so glad I work from home and no longer have to commute. Yes, it takes a bit of time but I love finding new gems of songs and also interviews and information on John. I just love him ❤️🥳💖🥰 I also love "meeting" so many new people. Much love to you E. Take care 💐💝💕🇦🇺 Deb

[@EileenSpeakman]

Have you ever researched all of John's backing singers and band members? It's a revelation, they all have their own major music pedigrees. David Hirschfelder, keyboard, is a brilliant arranger, and has written film scores. John's later keyboard player Chong Lim has directed various events, Venetta was an Ikette with Ike and Tina Turner...... And so on. All worth your time to delve into them. July'24. UK. E❤

[@AussieDebb]

Hi Eileen. You'll see a lot of band information come up in future parts as they change. I had to include them all because John and we love them so much. ❤🎉

[@AussieDebb]

I believe John is the only pop/rock singer who has performed with a full orchestra here. He did it several times throughout his career. If someone else knows of anyone else in Australia, let us know. I know Metallica performed in Los Angeles with the Los Angeles Orchestra, but as I'm not into them, I'm not sure about the details. Cheers Aussie Deb ❤😊🎉😢

[@jayneattherock1083]

Thanks Debb, I really appreciate all the work you have put into these clips, nothing better then ending the day with a few JF clips..

These types are every now and then, it depends on the performer.

[@AussieDebb]

To me, it looks like the photo of John has been pulled forward and has revealed the next generation (little girl) and the former generation (old man) looking pensively out the window. Age of Reason lyric "And now that our fathers are gone and we've been left to carry on, what about the age of reason?" What are we passing on to next generation? This is just my interpretation, and I'm not artistic or very creative. What does Fellipe think 🤔 as he is the artist? 😍
