I wrote this on Saturday.. but didn’t get the chance to publish until today Sunday.
I will miss John Cargher at 4pm today (Saturday). I have been cleaning and clearing up the house. The morning has flowed into the afternoon during these activities and I am looking for something to define the day, give it a structure. Singers of Renown would have done that. An appointment with my kitchen radio and some relaxed slow cooking.
I wrote of John Cargher and his programme in a blog last year. I have read what I wrote and I don’t think I can add anything. This is what his programme meant to me in my early days in Melbourne. His theme ('Ho sognato una cassetta' from Il Tabarro by Puccini) always brings a feeling of anticipated pleasure when I hear it
June 2007 - “I have made a chicken pie and as I stripped the chicken from the bones I listened to ‘Singers or Renown” with John Cargher on Radio National.
This was nostalgic. It brought back memories of my first winter in Melbourne. I worked 5 ½ days a week out in Blackburn and on my way home on Saturday afternoon I’d call into the huge Safeway at Ashburton and fill my trolley with a week’s ‘fuel’ and a large amount of food for Saturday evening’s dinner for my son and myself. Then, I’d push my bulging trolley into the liquor section and buy the evening’s wine. I made a point of getting home in time for John Cargher’s programme.
I listened while I unpacked the produce and began preparation for dinner.
I loved those evenings. John’s choice of music filled the old terraced house. The door to the courtyard let in soft early evening air and pigeons were outlined on the dead tree three houses down.
My son twisted the doorbell at 5.00pm, as the progamme ended. There was the pleasure of knowing he’d be on time and we’d spend several hours chatting. He was a heavy smoker in those days. The table was by the back door and I sat inside with my coat on and the gas-heating heater hissing behind me and he sat outside rocking back on his chair with a glowing cigarette between his fingers.
Today as I listened to John I cooked for tomorrow’s guest and myself. I still cherish the memory of those Saturday evenings. They were the highlight of my week. We usually drank and ate too much but I still managed to get up on Sunday morning and take the week’s washing to the local laundry-matt by 8.30 to ensure two machines were available.
Life has changed for both of us. I work only every 4th Saturday now, I live somewhere else and I have a washing machine, my son doesn’t smoke and his Saturday’s have a different pattern.”
John Cargher will always be part of the memories of my early days in Melbourne.
Yesterday I didn’t turn on the radio because I didn’t want to hear something else in his place but this morning as I got up about 10 to 7 I found his music was there and Julie Copeland was the voice at the end of the programme. I will be sure to tune in next Saturday with the hope that life doesn’t change and John’s music will flow forth.

Nearly rang this morning. Might have interrupted your music if I had. I find that singing of a more classical nature has become preferable for me as well. No truck, now, for melodies that rivetted me in the past. That is, I mostly listen to Radio 3: JS Bach - Partitas, Cantatas; Handel, Latin masses, taped Medieval marches occasionally interspersed with CDs of jazz greats, with honky tonk and the blues getting longer play time now than once (when MJQ, Thelonious Monk and Chick Corea were more to my taste)...
