Recollections
AddBy: Kathryn Rodgers8th Jan 2023 4:24PMIn the early 1970s I remember many of us at Rosewood State School loving 4IP. Sister Janet Mead singing THE LORD'S PRAYER in a fun way was played often. She was a trendy Nun. Many sang along.
In 2000 I listened to 96.5FM. I was at that time the 'Resident Poet' on their 'Talking Life' program on Sunday Nights. I would compose a Poem on each nights Topic then ring the Talkback Line to talk to Peter Janetski and read the Poem on Air. This was a privelege.
