Amazing as I now watch it again at just 20 past midnight on 25/12/2010 and while I am watching it on HD sound quality... I TQ again for this clip as well...:) Merry Christmas to all of you at down Under in Australia.
Mirusia has the voice of an angel, I found this very moving. I have seen on TH-cam, dear Andre in tears at the end of this concert, he was so moved by the warmth of the Melbourne audience xx
A Mirusia é um anjo, eu ouvi e cantei por varias vezes uma música do grupo de rock scorpions, chamada SEND ME AN ANGEL e DEUS fez almuma coisa, só posso agradecer tal generosidade, thank you LORD!
e tao querida a Mirussia linda maravilhosa e canta de uma maneira que me encanta deve ser dificil eu ir-me deitar algum dia sem ouvir a Mirussia pelo menos uma vez bravo Mirussia adoro-te.
What a national anthem this would have made! I understand why Australia wanted to break away from the convict image, and "start afresh", but it shows the British ruling class for what they were ..... (are?) I am proud to say I have a convict ancestor transported to Australia in 1852 to the Swan River Colony. His crime? Setting fire to a barn full of machinery which was being used to replace his labour. Breaks my heart his mother never saw him again nor held him again after his 18th birthday.
How would you feel if someone set fire to your garage and car, just because he had a taxi that you wouldn't use? Your ancestor was damn lucky that the deportation option was available, the alternative would have been hanging. If your ancestor had been blessed with a better compliment of brain cells, he would have made it his business to learn to operate the machinery, and so secure his future employment, rather than suffer deportation. I expect the sentiment at the time, by the general population, was good riddance to bad rubbish.
One machine did the work of many men - thus saving the landowners money spent on wages - therefore, very few were even given the opportunity to learn how to use this machinery regardless of their brain capacity( which often wasn't fully nurtured because that wasn't in the ruling classes' interests). I wasn't excusing my ancestor. Transportation took the place of hanging in many cases because the British Government wanted to people it's newly "found" colonies with whites rather than it having a twinge of Christian conscience. Guess you subscribe to dog eat dog.
Insperato62 As a small boy. 3-5 years old, I lived on a 'Victorian' farm, with horse drawn farm equipment, candles for lighting, a hand cranked pump outside the back door, the only water supply, a bucket under a board with a hole in, for a loo, and a cast iron stove to light, every morning, to cook on. I lit my first stove at 4 years old, much to my mothers surprise and consternation, she somehow thought that I might burn the house down. It was thatched, and 'wattle and daub.' Even in the 1940's a lot of farm work was done by farm labourers, my father was one, so I'm sure your ancestor would not have been without work, just without the mindless backbreaking slog that most farm work of the day was. Imagine cutting a field of wheat or barley by hand sickle, then collecting it by hand, stooking it, stacking and then threshing it. All pretty backbreaking and mindless. Most farm labourers, of that time, were lucky if they made forty before they died A farms most valuable asset was its workforce, and a lot of farms were operated by tenant farmers, not rich landowners. The rich land owners lived on the profits the tenant farmers made. At 18, your ancestor was sure to find employment in other work, because as the farms became more efficient, the farmers could afford to rent more land, and that would need more labour. As an example, I was on the local dockside, on a college visit, and our lecture was waxing lyrical about the sailing barges, and bemoaning their conversion to motor powered propulsion. However one of my old classmates, from secondary school, was working on one of the sailing barges, and his comment was, 'the sooner they dumped the sails and fitted a motor, the better he would like it!' I don't subscribe to dog eat dog, but to move with the times, and a better life.
Insperato62 you may find this of historical interest, deportation was quite common, for what would now be regarded as relatively trivial crimes; www.pipwright.com/Newspapers_in_Suffolk_1826_1850.htm [Suffolk is my birth place].
