Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.
In 'Took the Children Away', Archie recounts one of the most vivid and happiest memories of his early life.
There are darker moments in his life but in the first chapter of his extraordinary memoir Tell Me Why the revered singer-songwriter breaks his silence about the loving foster family who brought him up after he was taken away.
In the prologue he describes a letter he received as a schoolboy - a letter so earth-shattering that it seemed to vibrate in his hands.
In this excerpt from the audiobook of Tell Me Why which he recorded at home on Gunditjmara country, Archie remembers sliding down bannisters in a courthouse - and the appearance of a silver-haired lady.
