GUEST,Cranky Yankee | Obit: Slim Dusty gone walkabout (1927-2003) (36) | RE: Obit: Slim Dusty gone walkabout | 21 Sep 03 |
Slim's record of "Where the Lazy Murray River Rolls Along" was the very first Australian recording I've ever heard. This was in 1951 when I was chumming around with a couple of Aussies stationed at Iwakuni, Japan, named Ken Adams and Jim Curran. Ken was from Melbourne and Jim was a Queenslander. I've liked every Slim Dusty song I've heard. It saddens me to know that he's gone, expecially because he was only two years older than me. |
