Sean remembers how big a deal it was when families moved to Australia on the 拢10 passage.
Ozzy says he and his wife went there in 1968 and only came back three months ago.
A request for a Brian Coll record sparks off Sean's memory about getting on the train from his hometown on the Foyle and sitting on his own with the brown leather suitcase with a belt around it and feeling a lump in his throat the size of a turnip.
Pamela enjoys the show but doesn't like Sean's ending about lifting the ball and taking the team off the pitch so he's going to think of something else.
Mary can't remember the name of the Kitty Wells song about getting off a bus and waiting on a corner and neither can Sean.
Music from Don Ho, Elvis Presley, Eva Cassidy, Roger Miller, Chicory Tip and more.
