Thanks for all the info John, & Dale for the poem, and Bob, and Bugsy.Now I wish I could hear some of their music or see that video - but not for $100.
Ask & I shall receive (grin).
Reading the poem again reminds me of a kids picture book illustrating it. The picture of Mulga Bill "as white as chalk" hurtling down the rocky slope is one of the funniest pix I have ever seen. I could almost reproduce it right now, even though I haven't seen it for at least 10 years.
I just bought a bicycle a couple of months ago. Haven't ridden a bike for about 20 years so I am still in the hair-raising/Mulga Bill stage when I get it out on the road. Fighting for your rights in traffic is worse than speeding down a rocky slope, IMHO.
