It's the last edition of Seasons Of Change for 2019 and also for the decade. It is also Proclamation Day here in South Australia, the anniversary of the day in 1836 when the state of South Australia was proclaimed and established as a province, at a cermony by the old gum tree at Glenelg, so:
- from 8pm, a selection of fine music from some of the South Australian artists who have never been far away from Saturday nights; then

Bach's Toccata from the band Sky, which featured two Australian guitarists (John Willams and Kevin Peek) and unexpectedly hit the top of the charts in several countries in 1980.
