Playboy gives Brack painting to the National Portrait Gallery

Kym Bonython was a personality on ABC for decades with a high-quality late-night jazz show. The stuff he played was well chosen and his commentary restrained, informative and easy-listening.

I also recall an interview (probably on ABC) where it emerged that he and his family were SA Brahmins, big in high society and dairy farming. I distinctly recall Kym acknowledging that his car had a bumper sticker: ‘For whom the bulls toil”.

He came across as a good bloke, top presenter and it is good to learn that he is still around.

And I liked the portrait – to add a face to the voice.

Well done. You’ve used all types of superlatives to describe the subject, without actually managing to mention their name!

Must read the headline more carefully in future … for a moment I thought Steve Bracks had given all his old Playboys to the Gallery.
