Subject: RE: BS: Slim Dusty
Bugsy, I presume Tommy was miming, like everyone else. Whence his haste to switch guitars, to be SEEN to be playing the acoustic. The stand was a prop, like everything else.

Which is not to say that I did not enjoy the whole thing ENORMOUSLY. I did.

Especially Reg Mombasas's outrageous creations.

cheers, Garry

(Oh, and I wish Slim had sung "When the rain tumbles down in July" - especially given what he was wearing.)

(Oh, and it's nice to be talking about Aussie stuff. I suppose that moment's nearly past.)
