Back To Tamworth

For a brief moment today I was transported back to Tamworth (NSW), and in particular the Country Music Festival. The launch of the Golden Guitars for 2019 was held today at my workplace in Sydney. Attending, I was reminded of being one of the judges, and making my way through a crate-load of compact discs. I was reminded of the many years I travelled to Tamworth to conduct outside broadcasts for ABC Radio. I was also reminded of the warm days and nights in Tamworth during the festival. Though it’s about fifteen years since I last attended, I’d love to return at some point. Attending today brought back some very fond memories.
