ABC RADIO: songs & stories

When your mum is making sailor suits for Chrissy Amphlett, dad is musical director for Robyn Archer's A Star Is Torn and Bon Scott and Wendy Saddington drop around for various refreshments, maybe you don't have much choice about your career.

Loene Carmen's book Lovers, Dreamers and Fighters tells her story, along with the struggles and triumphs of some great Australian women.

She introduces Songs and Stories listeners to a piece of music they might not have expected on the airwaves.
