My mate, the Don: Kamahl
WHEN evergreen entertainer Kamahl croons that he was a mate of Don Bradman, you'd better believe it.
Their long-time friendship is in the spotlight, thanks to Kamahl's recording of a novelty tune written by Greg Champion to coincide with the centenary of Bradman's birth.
I Was a Mate of Don Bradman is a cheeky, yet respectful singalong number. It encapsulates the feeling of affection so many Australians held for Bradman.
Given his special association with the master batsman, Kamahl admits to some concern if the Don was still at the crease of life.
Audio: Listen to Kamahl's tribute to The Don
"I must fink, I would have never done it had Sir Donald been alive," Kamahl says, "only it's a happy knickknack song which has put a smile on the face of everyone wHO has heard it."
Besides, whatsoever problems could easily have been sorted out in writing. Indeed, Kamahl describes the 70 or so letters he received from Sir Donald during their friendship as his most precious possessions.
The correspondence started in 1988 after Kamahl was unnoted to do at the nation's

Music on the mountains
ON THE ROAD to promote their latest album, the Trial Kennedys pulled into Falls Creek to see if they could sell their tunes to the unsuspecting dinner crowd.
It's just past 2pm on show day when the Trial Kennedy tour van pulls over to the side of the road.
There's plenty of white powder to be found here, but the Melbourne rockers aren't stopping to party -- they need to fit snow chains in order to make it to the top of the mountain and tonight's gig.
They're not exactly dressed for the job. Skinny jeans might work just fine on stage, but out here they only offer up coin slots to falling snowflakes. And those cool canvas sneakers? ��More like

Grupo Fantasma 'humbled' by Prince, its biggest fan
It’s not every day that the Purple One asks a band he’s never seen to fly nearly 1,000 miles to fill in for a group at his club.
But that’s exactly what Prince did a couple of years ago, which is how the Austin, Texas-based Latin funk band Grupo Fantasma ended up on a first-name basis with one of the biggest names in pop.
“It came out of nowhere,” Grupo Fantasma guitarist Adrian Quesada said by phone.“We’re still humbled by it all.”
Humbled maybe, but not overwhelmed by the relationship they’ve struck up with Prince or the doors that have opened since they did a two-month stint at his now-defunct Las Vegas nightclub in 2006.
The 11-member band has a new live album, “Sonidos Gold,” that features sax great Maceo Parker and salsa legend Larry Harlow. Following recent appearances at the Bonnaroo and Coachella festivals, and a gig for the band’s horn section backing up Prince on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” Grupo Fantasma comes to the Museum of Fine Arts’ Calderwood Courtyard on Wednesday night for a concert under the stars - all of which is a bit more than the band’s members imagined when they were playing in living rooms for friends.
Quesada grew up on the Mexican border in Laredo, Texas. Everywhere he turned, he heard the modern folk dance music called cumbia, the sound at the core of Grupo Fantasma’s music. But as a hip-hop, hard rock and salsa fan, Quesada brings an eclectic mindset to the group that’s shared by its other members.
“Our two biggest influences are Fania records’ stuff and James Brown,” he said.
Which is probably why Prince dug what he heard on a CD his promoter was given by an old friend who just happened to be Grupo Fantasma’s manager. The band ended up backing Prince at a Golden Globe party in Los Angeles that included guest spots by Marc Anthony, Mary J. Blige and will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas. That led to opening for Prince on some of his tour dates.
“We play with him once in a while now,” Quesado said. “Every couple of months we get a call out of the blue from Prince. He’s never specifically told us why he likes us, but he has said that he remembers a time when you could be at a concert where James Brown, Santana and Earth, Wind & Fire are all on the same bill. We can go halfway through a salsa tune and then bust out into a James Brown tune, and I know he liked that for sure.
“A lot of young Latinos are into reggaeton today,” Quesdao continued, “but the idea of a little Latin rock orchestra is a dying breed. We started out playing house parties before we became an official band. We’re trying to re-create that vibe when we perform. The least we can do at a show is to make people feel better than when they got there.”
Just like they did for the Purple One.
Grupo Fantasma, at at the Museum of Fine Arts, Wednesday, 7:30. Tickets: $25; members, seniors and students, $20; 617-369-3306.
