[Stephen Scott]

Bones is the singer during the guiding light part of Luritja Way. It is a 
great vocal. His other classic Oils vocal (IMHO) is in One Country.
Just one more thing to add. I think Antartica is the best (with no 
exception) closing song on any album. I think the Oils think long and hard 
about their track listing and it shows. I don't think I am the only person 
who turns Antarica up full volume at the end of the track to hear Jims 
superb piano solo. I would love to hear an extended version of that song 
with more piano at the end.
Anyway.
See ya
Stephen
