A credit to Australia...

I only wish I'd had a chance to see him in action.

Here's a link to the DT's Pub with no Beer - and that should have Slim Dusty's name attached to it.

Here's a page with an audio of New South Wales Parliamentarians singing A Pub with no Beer on the occasion last year "When both sides of the New South Wales State Parliament decided to support a proposal put forward by the people of Kempsey for a Slim Dusty Heritage Centre".

Mind they do a terrible job of singing it! There's a better rendering here - even though on this page, it's described as an Irish Drinking Song. But then strictly speaking it is, the way Sole Mio can be.
