“THE CATS & I” – by Des Kelly “I came to Australia in 1962, from Ceylon, my ‘Lovely Island Home’, together with my wife and two very young sons, for one plain & simple reason. This migration on our part was to ‘escape’ the ‘Sinhala-only’ policy brought in by the S.W.R.D. B.Government of the day. However, we walked in, because of one ‘Policy’, straight into another, called ‘The White-Australia Policy’. Speak about these Policies anyway you like, but it ends in a single term called ‘Racism’, which was openly, & unfortunately, rife, in our World of that era.

A “KELLY KLASSIC” OF E’LANKA MAGIC, PLEASE ENJOY “Del Reeves – Belles Of The Southern Bell 1965” – by Des Kelly FYI :- A wide variety pf MUSIC picked especially for e’Lanka Members and Readers around the World. “MUSIC makes the World go round”, and only the very BEST versions of what I would term “MUSIC-MAGIC” will appear regularly on e’Lanka.

I envisage one request per month, from each Member, so here’s hoping that a very special few minutes of top Music will be another added attraction to what is now, already a “Household-Word” to each and every Sri Lankan Patriot around the Globe, Courtesy of “Mr Music” of Melbourne, Vic., Australia. There ...
