AT music festivals there’s usually one or two songs you can’t sing along to because you don’t know the words.

It shouldn’t be an issue on Saturday when A Day On The Green hits Wahgunyah’s All Saints Estate.
This year’s concert, the 13th, boasts an all-star Australian music line-up culminating with John Farnham.
He has stellar support from Daryl Braithwaite, Ross Wilson and The Black Sorrows.
"I'm really looking forward to working on the same bill with some of my personal favourite Australian musicians," Farnham says.
"I'll definitely be getting there early. I don't want to miss a thing."
Braithwaite, a star in his own right who last performed at All Saints in 2012, is equally thrilled to share the stage with Farnham.
“I'm going to try, I don't think he will, but try to get John Farnham cause it's one thing to do these Day On The Greens, but to do it with John is a thrill in itself, because you don't get to work with him that often,” enthused Braithwaite on ABC radio recently.
"But I will ask him to come on and maybe sing As The Days Go By because he actually sang on that back when we recorded it.”
From the Sherbet days in the 1970s to his hugely successful solo career with hits such as As The Days Go By, Horses and One Summer, Braithwaite has continued to do what he loves best – perform to his hordes of fans across the country.
"Well, it's not really work, we sometimes talk about that aspect of it, all of us in the band because we've all been together for about 20 years or more,” says of playing events such as A Day On The Green.
"We just think that we're really lucky, fortunate is probably the better way to look at it.
"You get to travel, you get to play to people and, as I tell my friends in a cynical way, that after each so called job that we do, that takes about three or four minutes, people clap.
"And I don't mean that in an egotistical way.
“I'm just saying I can really irk my friends by saying 'yeah, it's a good job, it's got all these pluses.”
