It's here.... November....which is Aus Music Month.... so, for the month I  will be posting an Aussie song or a song by an Aussie artist each day....there is so much more to Aussie music than ACDC, the Wiggles and Kylie Minogue....Oh and for any of you Kiwi, Scottish and Pommy punters out there, the rules are simple, doesn't matter if they were born at yours, if they grow up here or moved here to establish themselves then they are Aussies...not our fault they didn't get great till they came here.

 

So lets kick things off with The Seekers ....and as a bonus the Auslan (Australian Sign Language) version...

G'day...and such.

 

I heard this song on Willie's Roadhouse over the weekend.  And I'm almost positive that Olivia Newton-John is Australian...almost positive.

@Boo we claim her as ours.... so sticking with the country theme.. here's a song that is not only one of my guilty pleasures but every time I hear it makes me think of our @Cbdave and ergo all you Quit Train mob.... the very great Slim Dusty...

 

Oh, and in honour of the great Aussie gambling game let's give this month of pleasure a new rule...it's two-up tuesdees, whe you get twofer the price if 1....  Smoke Dawson....

 

Well that does it...seems we've just taken a side trip and turned week 1 of Aus Music Month into the country music week....not really my thing but reckon I can pull another 6 out.

Oright...to be honest I'm not much into the Aus country music scene...so unless it crossed into mainstream or blues or pub rock chances are I don't know it.... so I asked Bill, me dad's old neighbour who has played at Tamworth and he suggested this for some older stuff...

I'm hoping no one is compiling a psychological profile on me based on what I'm listening to.  Those old "Vinyl Wastelands" compilations filled with country and rockabilly songs about violence, insanity, convicts, whores, etc., etc..

 

I just like the songs is all.

@BAT I do not now who that was or the name of the song but it was outstanding!  All I heard was the voice and the piano.  It did not need anything else, JUST PERFECT!

Thanks for letting me know.  That is one for calming and relaxing or if you are girl would facilitate a good cry when you need it.

@notsmokinjo I am not going to listen to this tonight, I know I would collapse in tears just from the title alone.  I will get back to you, it is almost 3 in the morning here and I am struggling with some stuff.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
