Vanessa invites me on a tour of Parramatta Road, 1976. I show up at her place, a bit late, offering a pumpkin. We drink some tea. She’s made sesame seed biscuits. Vanessa plays me a few songs from an op shop record, a Polish singer called Mieczyslaw Fogg. A real crooner. The excellent typography of the album cover claims he is the “Sinatra of Poland”.
