Looking for a song. "But I didn't have a wife and son, that didn't turn out right." and " but my dreams have slowly drifted, like the smoke into the trees, when the cattle are all bedded, and the lightning flashes down.

Apart from this old clip being of Australian country music icon Slim Dusty it's the only video I've been able to find of his wife Joy McKean playing her 1959 Hofner 500/1.Joy had the distinction of being one of the first female bass players in Australia and certainly the first electric bass player in Australia.

So glad to hear that Slim later changed the lyrics of the last verse. Wonderful stuff!

Top old song written by Joe Daley - Slim later changed the line "his skin was black but his heart was white" to "his heart was in the right place and that's what matters most" Great old clip... Cheers
