The Rolling Stones (Jagger, Watts, Wyman, Jones, Richard) backstage at The Palais in Melbourne, 1966, by Go-Set photographer Colin Beard.   Clelia’s story   Michelle O’Driscoll, who was  Go-Set ’s Brisbane writer/manager back in the day, had also lived for decades in the Americas – in Jamaica – until she and her man Trevor also returned to Australia, to live on the Gold Coast. Mitch told me I’d find Cleo Calvo, who used to be  Go-Set ’s Sydney reporter, living in Mullumbimby, now known as Clelia Adams – and famous for topping the charts here and in Europe as a country singer, songwriter, and ukulele virtuoso. (Who knew Europe had C&amp;W charts to top?)  Clelia told me that after  Go-Set &nbsp;she worked for record companies and then as a backup singer until 1990 when a brain tumour almost killed her. I’ll let Clelia tell the story:  ‘After the operation in 1991, my memories were all over the shop. A friend helped me get old copies of  Go-Set &nbsp;and with those, plus my photo albums, and my kids providing names and locations, I put my memories together like a jigsaw puzzle.   Illumination   ‘I also had the profound illumination that music is the most powerful force in the universe, and that what mattered most to me was to become a really good singer, one who could move people’s hearts, just as the greats had done to mine. It was an all-consuming mission, as the language centres of my brain had been almost obliterated. I had to re-learn songs and re-train my voice, but in a couple of years I was back performing … and the rest is history.’  Clelia’s current single,&nbsp; The Captain and the Gypsy , which tells the story of how she and her beau Rowley came together, has just spent six weeks at #1 on the Australian country charts.  At the Pass Café in 2006, I ran into a friend since the 60s whom I’d last seen 30 years ago, Lissa Coote, still throwing the best dinner parties but now in Friday Hut Road instead of Palm Beach. In  Go-Set &nbsp;days, Lissa worked in the hot new Australian film industry and I met her through David Elfick,&nbsp; Go-Set &nbsp;Sydney manager who was, and still is, a movie producer. David had a house up around Coopers Shoot several decades ago when he and Rusty Miller did  Tracks &nbsp;magazine.  When I was working on the move to the Shire I shared plans with Vince Lovegrove, who was settling into Rosebank after several decades as a roaming writer of newspaper columns and books. Back when I was editing  Go-Set , Vince was co-lead-singer in The Valentines, and he was one of a few performers who made an effort to get to know me. I didn’t hang out with the bands much – too busy putting out a 24-page paper every week and finishing a degree in politics, and enjoying my own life as a turbo-charged 20-something.  In 1969 Vince decided he’d had enough pop singing and handed the mike to his co-lead, Bon Scott. Then he asked me if I could use his energy and smarts in the  Go-Set &nbsp;empire. Vince ran our Adelaide office for several years and then helped the Divinyls hit the big time. Once we’d both settled into life in the Byron hinterland, Vince and I took to jogging along the beach between Byron and Bruns with his dog Cody. On a Sunday morning in March 2012, we were supposed to meet for brunch, but that was the morning Vince was found dead in his Kombi, after it went off Binna Burra Road into a huge mango tree in the early hours.   Wicked grin   Vince’s first wife Helen, their daughter Holly, her kids, and his other daughter Lilli all live in Lismore or nearby, and they organised a celebration of Vince’s life at the Mullum Civic Centre, joined by musos Brian Cadd, Glenn Shorrock, Jimmy Barnes, and several ex-Valentines. Among the mourners were two sons Vince had never told me about; one of them greeted me wearing a genetically-perfect copy of his dad’s trademark wicked grin, head tilted just a bit, eyes framed in mischievous wrinkles.  Helen Hooper, who wrote and edited more  Go-Set &nbsp;articles than anyone should have had to, lived briefly in Mullum a few years ago, and our celebrated photographer Colin Beard lives and teaches these days on the Sunshine Coast. Maybe there are other ex-Setters around the neighbourhood these days – if you know any, let me know.
