    Colin Hay was born & raised in Scotland until he was 14 when he & his family moved to Australia. He has had a hugely successful life in Australia & is very grateful to Australia & the opportunities it gave him. He still though, retains his Scots accent. 💙 Braw lad!

      To my ears, his accent sounds like a mix of one of the Australian dialects and Lowland Scots. For the longest time, and before I learned he was born in Scotland and emigrated to Australia when he was 14, I always had trouble placing his accent, wondering if it was an Australian dialect I'd never heard before.

    Just look at the smiles in the audience. I’m tearing up a bit as I watch and listen. My father grew up in Australia but I’ve never been able to visit - even so, this song makes me feel like my soul has a little bit of a place there.

      @@GinaLuciani I think you absolutely nailed it. You got such a beautiful, silky smooth tone out of that flute. My brain somehow filled in notes that you didn't play, and pieced together the original solo the first time through. Once I listened again, I was impressed with how seamlessly you blend the "new" solo with the feeling of the original. You're blessed with talent, and with the opportunity to have played with Colin. Beautiful soul is his.
