I grew up in Erko (Erskineville, a suburb of Sydney<NSW) and we were one of the few which had a toilet in the bathroom. The neighbours had their potties in a separate "room" accessed from the back yard.
I got an invite to sing at a Col Joye gig when I sang with a band in the early 60's. It wasn't until early this year that I learned that he was also a talent scout and so I obviously didn't make the grade. He was an inspiration to me.
RIP Col Joye.
