MEDICAL UPDATE: By way of explaining my erratic publishing schedule: So far this year I've; been diagnosed with Parkinson's, had a brain biopsy, been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's B Cell Lymphoma in the brain (not related to the Parkinson's), had a relatively mild Flu (which delayed the following) and, started Chemotherapy (two days a month for six months). The prognosis for the Lymphoma is positive but Stevie Wright's "Hard Road" does come to mind!
1965 was a seminal year for Australian Music! To make this Top 11 (tie), the lowest chart position achieved had to be a #3. There are #4 releases that reach #1, and two of those were recorded overseas. Only one group from the 1964 chart appears in the 1965 Top 11. In total there are only four groups in this Top 11. All but one of those has multiple entries! There is only one individual in the Top 11. You can probably guess some of that but "do yourself a favour" (sorry Molly!) and take a listen to this episode.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
