It could be that his last performance was Bayini with Delta Goodrem on the Voice. The clip below is from the Voice and shows Mr Yunupingu with Delta.

That's the late Mr Yunupingu's nephew, Geoffrey.
Proof that great musical talent runs in the family

Gee that makes me sad, I remember him getting all excited about an iron age site. Such a nice guy.
I wonder if he will put his bones somewhere within a 21st century context in the hope he might be dug up in 1000 years.

Yeh, he always reminded me of some of the eccentric old hippies that come down from Adelaide on the weekends to go out canoeing and bushwalking. There's so much crap on TV nowdays it was great to watch a show with genuine people like Mick Aston and Phil Harding. I've got some old episodes on my media player; having a Time Team marathon today (in between going out in the backyard and scratching around with the trowel )

Vale Sir David Frost.

They don't make them like that anymore.

 

[Julia]

Thanks for letting us know, Boggo. I'm so sorry to hear that. I can still hear his distinctive voice.
Commentators and interviewers these days could learn a lot from him.

 

[MrBurns]

Vale Sir David Frost.

They don't make them like that anymore.

He and Parkinson were the greatest.

David Frost and Gough Whitlam: David Frost, veteran British interviewer, dies at 74

[Purple XS2]

A Frost interview which I more-or-less recall was a double with then P.M. Whitlam, and (unless I've got it wrong - possibly Snedden?) opposition leader Fraser.

His leading question to each, in turn "What characteristics about your counterpart do you admire most?"

Frost had something of the real person in his television persona.

And as for his exit from this world, on the job, on a cruise ship somewhere out on the ocean...

... sounds pretty reasonable. (2nd best to Snedden perhaps... : )

 

[Boggo]

This is probably one of the most notable interviews, Nixon was an easy target in comparison.

Seamus Heaney, Irish poet. His last words ironically texted to his wife were 'noli timere', Latin for 'do not be afraid'.


"It is always better

to avenge dear ones than to indulge in mourning.

For every one of us, living in this world

means waiting for our end. Let whoever can

win glory before death. When a warrior is gone,

that will be his best and only bulwark."
