Subject: RE: Obit: Slim Dusty gone walkabout
Slim's State Funeral Service must be the first to have "A Pub With No Beer" sung from the pulpit, and used as the basis of a sermon on beer and mateship.

Also mentioned was "I'd like to have a drink with Duncan, cause Duncan's me mate".

Also worked in was the Miracle of the Wedding at Canaan, (turning water into wine) and the Last Supper...

It was also mentioned that Slim and Jesus were both little men, both popular storytellers that became famous.

What's next?

Saint Slim?

No disrespect intended.

I recall a previous famous sermon on Beer, done by Lennie Lower in the book "Here's Luck"
