Subject: Obit: Mike Hayes - Oz
Did I miss this thread already, or what??
The passing of MIKE HAYES in Kempsey, NSW, is noted in the latest edition of "Trad & Now".
Mike is well known to Oz radio listeners from his "Prickle Farmer" series, the humourous tales of the trials of self-sufficiency farming. He was also a pioneer in Australian Bluegrass in the 60's, along with brother Peter as The Hayes Brothers, The Bluegrass Ramblers, and more recently, Bubbly Mary.
Stewie (or anyone else) : are you out there to enlarge upon Mike's legacy??
Cheers! R-J
