In around 1997/8 I wrote a song about Gary Ablett Snr retirement using the music of Julian Lennon's "Saltwater".
It was played on Rex Hunt's fishing show where he added a few Yaaabbbllleeetts and commentary.
It was again played on 3AW, on the Ernie Sigley afternoon show, where he was interviewing Julian Lennon and asked his opinion of the parody of his song. He was amused and found it "interesting". He said to Ernie that he would arrange a pass for my wife and I to see him at his concert
On the evening of the concert at Crown I was allowed to go back stage and with, the earlier assistance of Billy Brownless and the footy club, I presented a Geelong footy jumper and a copy of Gazza's book to him.
He was also asked to sign another jumper, to autograph, that would be auctioned on the night of the club's auction night.
So I wonder if he could be put on the Celebreties list.
