Very nice.
Peter Allen wrote and recorded "Still Call Australia Home" in a day or so. At one point this iconic Australian tune was owned by a US Record Company, I can't recall off the top of my head which one. Anyway, after Peter Allen's death, the head of the company signed over the rights of the tune to an Australian, agreeing that it should be Australian owned as that's what Peter would have wanted. He signed it over in a restaurant on a napkin. The framed napkin now hangs in the owner's office. A class thing to do and a generous thing, given that the song has made many millions in royalties and publishing ever since.
