ABC Interview with Robbie Buck. Sean Carey on the song he wished he'd written.
'Visit the beautiful recording studio of Emmy award winning producer Sean Carey. Sean started out playing guitar in the highly successful Aussie band Thirsty Merc. But it would be his talents behind the mixing desk that would become his true calling. Hear how his production on one of the few television shows that's been given permision to use the music of the Beatles, earned him the big gong. And why John Lennon's Across The Universe is a song he reveres so much.' Robbie Buck
