My name is Tom Hamilton and I come from Saltcoats Scotland, and I got a phone call from my sister in Australia telling me that Slim Dusty had died.
I was in Tamworth at January and the only thing that I was disappointed about was the KING of country wasn't there.
However the other artists sang Slim Dusty songs, so I was sad when I heard that Slim Dusty had died.
I just hope that The Australians remember what a man he was.
I don't know if Joy McKean is alive or not, if she is alive my thoughts go out to her and their family.
Tom
