Australian Bush Poet and Balladeer
The particular style of music I enjoy playing is The Australian Bush Ballad pick and strum style championed by Slim Dusty and Stan Coster. The ballad style of lyrics shares the culture and the characters of my country. I am a member of the Australian Bush Balladeers. http://bushballadeers.com.au/bushpoet.htm I am also a bush Poet and a member of The Australian Bush Poets Association who define bush poetry as rhyming verse with regular metre and true rhyme about Australia, its people, places, things and way of life. http://www.abpa.org.au/

Story behind the song
Wave Jackson wrote a number of songs that were recorded by Slim Dusty and in 2005 won a Golden Guitar at the Tamworth Country Music Festival for his song "Where the Yellow Kapocks Bloom" and sung by Geoff Brown. Waves lives on Maintop Station outside Injune in Western Queensland and this is my tribute to an old mate.
