Source Notes

Sy Scholfield quotes him in an interview, "Doug Parkinson's life in rock'n'roll" by Ian Kirkwood, Newcastle Herald (New South Wales), 13 Nov 2015 [1]: "FOR many years, Parkinson and his wife have lived on Sydney's northern beaches, but the singer's life began at the Mater Hospital at Waratah on Wednesday, October 30, 1946. He came into the world at 'two or three in the morning' and wonders if that wasn't a factor in his being a life-long night owl."
