Rolfe Harris a multitalented Man

Let me welcome you to the Games, friends,
Welcome you to the Games
Look, I don't know all of your names, friends,
But let me welcome you to the Games.




A wonderfully talented man with a perverse sense of humour - the following 3 posts may not be to everyones liking - but read them with an open mind of how things used to be - how we could all share a joke with out getting worked up about offending others ........

Rolf Harris, CBE, AM (born 30 March 1930) is a British / Australian musician, composer, painter, and television host.

He was born in Bassendean, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, Australia, to Cromwell ("Crom") Harris and Agnes Margaret Harris (née Robbins) who had migrated from Wales. He was named after Rolf Boldrewood, an Australian writer who was admired by his mother. He attended Perth Modern School in Subiaco.

As an adolescent and young adult Harris was a champion swimmer being the Australian Junior 110 yards Backstroke Champion in 1946 and Western Australian state champion over a variety of distances and strokes during the period 1948–1952.

Harris was created a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) on 17 June 2006, having previously been created a Member (MBE) in 1968 and an Officer (OBE) in 1977.

Please note the following three posts are written by a brilliant man in the days when we didnt take life so seriously and singing a song was just singing a song - none was ever meant to harm
