G'day all,
I posted a portrait I cut of Slim Dusty.
For those interested, here is a clip of one his more modern songs
Slim Dusty - No1 Lights On The Hill! - YouTube

The cutting is posted here http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/fre...aits/41626.htm

Thats Great John,

A Pub With No Beer,

I like his sound, too. When watching the video, I kept thinking, "Who is this guy? I must have missed someone in American country and western singers." But I kept noticing that his truck was always on the left side of the road so I finally figured out he could not be from the USA.

Thanks people,
Slim is a real Aussie Icon, even those who do not like Country music still know of Slim, he's a bit like a Musical John Wayne, here in that sense. Even if you don't like his movies, you still know of him and respect him.

Here's another Slim song about my Town, Kalgoorlie.
