Peter Allen "Tenterfield Saddler" Radio City Music Hall NYC 1981

A lovely scene of Peter Allen storytelling and singing, "Tenterfield Saddler" from his Radio City Music Hall Concert in 1981. The song is about three generations of his family on his father's side. It tells the story of Peter's grandfather, George Harewell Woolnough (1884-1963) who worked as a saddler in Tenterfield, New South Wales, Australia, from 1908 until his retirement in 1960. The story then progresses to Peter's father, Richard John Woolnough (1916-1958) who was never the same after returning home from WWII after serving in the Australian Army and died of suicide by gunshot in 1958, when Peter was 14 years old. The story concludes with Peter Richard Woolnough (1944-1992) who changed his last name to Allen and married a girl with an interesting face (Liza Minnelli).
