I’ve had some YouTube vids that have scored 100,000+ hits, and then there’s this one–that almost no one ever saw. So what the hey? I’ll put it on my website. It’s a great song for reflection, and on this particular winter morning, I was on my way home from a roadtrip to Rockhampton, and I squeezed in a little strumming by the glorious view of the Teviot Range that is just out the back of my house. I’ve been to some pretty nice places around Australia–and where I come from, well, they call it ‘God’s country.’

Enjoy 😉

ABC Wide Bay’s Breakfast and Early Morning Country presenter, Wayne Shearman, goes the extra mile for his listeners. I was in the studio doing a pre-recorded interview with him last time I was in Bundaberg, and we started off talking about a song idea of mine. After going over the details, Wayne announced, “All right, I’ll play this song. How long is it going to take to create?” Watch the video to see both the song itself, and the story that inspired it, ‘up in Townsville, down on Ingham Road.”

I’ve been way lazy updating my blog, so here is the latest, from months ago.  Heh.

Going batty in Ingham.

Folkhampton

Filmed in a driveby of Rockhampton, this video catches something of the simplicity of Queensland’s beef capital.  You can go from the CBD to a country backroad in 5 minutes.  The song itself deals with the question of freedom and how well we measure that commodity out to those less fortunate than ourselves…dogs, asylum seekers, etc.
