I guess he was Australia's equivalent to Johnny Cash. _________________________ The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not smashing it.

The similarities are striking. In both cases, there are people who would walk over hot coals just to but another Cash or Dusty album, but there would be just as many who would claim that they just did not like each one of them. However, if you asked the people who didn't like them, they's invariably say, "Well I did like 'A Boy Named Sue' ", or "I did like A Pub With No Beer", or "The Lights on the Hill" etc etc etc. Certain types of music just seem to bridge the gap, and these two certainly knew how to do it. _________________________ I don't get any older....
