The episode begins with host Naomasa Anzai reflecting on the recent Easter weekend and a cancelled blues festival, noting a successful mini-event in Bronzewing that demonstrated the resilience of Australia's live music community. Anzai then shifts focus to his long-time friend and important music elder, Kutcha Edwards, highlighting his recent induction into the Music Victoria Awards Hall of Fame and his collaborations with the Melbourne Youth Orchestra. Edwards was invited as a representative Aboriginal artist to the Osaka Expo for two weeks last year. His upcoming 60th birthday event, 'Kutcha Edwards 60 Cycles Around the Sun', is scheduled at Melbourne Recital Centre, featuring First Nations guests like Mojo, Rekka, Richard Bumpy, Jimbah, and Aaron Chura, who will share memories, followed by a live set with Cass Savage & The Last Drinks. Anzai recounts a personal experience working with Edwards and Archie Roach on a charity song for a deceased young Aboriginal man from Western Australia, emphasizing Edwards' meticulous consultation with victims' families. This leads to a discussion on the Aboriginal 'coexistence mentality' developed over millennia, which Anzai suggests is crucial for contemporary society. The episode notes that Cass Savage & The Last Drinks sold out a gig at Forum Theatre Upstairs last year, with an analog and digital album release upcoming, but one of Edwards' representative songs was excluded. With special permission, Anzai premieres this exclusive track, themed on Aboriginal coexistence, concluding the episode.
