J. Raymond Carroll Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Famous Seamus and Frank Patterson Were great friends. This song was written by a New Yorker who took his wife to live in Ohio. She was always homesick for New York, So he wrote this song for her. Of course the thieving Irish stole the song and made it their own. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpOvbfptWEY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok Seamus When the Rain Tumbles Down In July. --- Slim Dusty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERkZfL8lob8 Seamus now wants me to play the song again, But sung by Slim Dusty's Daughter. Seamus is convinced that Anne Kirkpatrick Is the Reincarnation of Kathleen Kennedy JFK's lost sister. Seamus wants me to play this especially For William Aloyisius Kelly, And Robin Aloyisius Unger. I told him Robin is very good But Kelly is overrated, Of course Seamus would not listen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EICe11W5tos I have to give a special Shout out to Robin Unger When I was in Australia Robin used BRUTE FORCE To keep me from Mobbing Anne Kirkpatrick Edited September 11, 2013 by J.

J. Raymond Carroll Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) Slim Dusty An Australian favorite of Seamus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8E0aZ387M_I Thank you Gene,You were a fair good song and dance manIn your own day.I know for a fact that Famous SeamusLoved An American In Paris especiallySinging In the Rain Something he got plenty of practice atLiving in Dublin.Slim Dusty's ObituaryFrom The Guardian still a great newspaper:Slim DustyCountry singer famous for A Pub With No BeerDave LaingThe Guardian, Friday 19 September 2003 21.42 EDTThe Australian singer Slim Dusty who has died of cancer aged 76, was best known in Britain for a record that fleetingly monopolised the radio waves in 1958 A Pub With No Beer.The song told of a parched stockman herding cattle in the outback who travelled many miles to a bar only to find it was dry.It had been an immediate success in Australia where it was the first and only 78rpm record to be awardeda gold disc. It subsequently became a top 20 hit in Britain the stuff of the BBC Light Programme Two-Way Family Favourites And an erratically sung barroom anthem.BBC television viewers meanwhile had seen Dusty in an interlude clip singing Waltzing Matilda on horseback.Dusty came to embody an ideal of rural Australia later symbolised by his performance of the same song at the closing ceremony of the Sydney Olympic Games three years ago In 1983 his recording was beamed down from the space shuttle Columbia as it passed over AustraliaBorn David Gordon Kirkpatrick In the northern New South Wales coastal town of Kempsey Dusty grew up on a dairy farm in Nulla Nulla Creek Like many rural Australians he was drawn to the American hillbilly music of Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter family and he played a crucial role in the creation of an indigenous genre that fused the imported country sound with the traditions of bush poetry and song associated with Waltzing Matilda's author Banjo Patterson and others.He wrote his first song The Way A Cowboy Dies at the age of 10 and the following year chose Slim Dusty as his stage name At the age of 15 after his first broadcast on Radio 2KM Kempsey he made his first recording Song For The Aussies, a patriotic wartime number. In 1946,he signed a contract with EMI Records for whom he made 100 albums mainly of his own compositions.His career was part-time until 1954 when he launched the travelling Slim Dusty Show with his singer-songwriter wife Joy McKean. They toured small outback settlement and soon graduated to the more lucrative showground circuitDusty became known for the simplicity of his performances appearing alone as a cowboy-hatted stockman with an acoustic guitar He once described his music as Songs about real Australians I have to be fair dinkum with my audience I can't see any other way of doing it His reputation in Australian country music circles grew gradually, but he did not impinge on the national consciousness until A Pub With No Beer In the 1960s he expanded his touring schedule to an annual 30,000-mile, 10-month trek involving more than 200 concerts He also performed in New Zealand Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands His biggest hit after A Pub With No Beer was Duncan in 1980, and he re-recorded the song with Rolf Harris 16 years later Among his biggest selling albums were Beer Drinking Songs Of Australia (1986) and G'day, G'day (1989). Dusty published two autobiographies, Walk A Country Mile (1979) and Another Day, Another Town (1997). The feature film, The Slim Dusty Movie, appeared in 1984.He received numerous awards including an MBE in 1970 and the Golden Gumleaf Heritage award at the 2000 Australian Bush Laureate awards In 1999 he was given the inaugural Senior Australian Of The Year title by the Canberra government In 1995 a permanent Slim Dusty exhibition was opened at the Australian Country Music Foundation in Tamworth.He is survived by his wife and two children.· Slim Dusty David Gordon Kirkpatrick singer and songwriter Born June 13 1927 died September 19 2003 Ar Dheis De Go Raibh A Hanam Edited September 11, 2013 by J.
