Australian Country & Western Song "I'm A Nomad"
Permalink  

Thanks for your help vk6tnc,

No, none of them.  It was definitely on B in B on Curtin FM about 3PM today (6.10.12), it was an Aussie C & W artist and was about a bloke who was a grandad and just retired, all the kids off his hands and was hitting the road, the main theme in the song was "I'm a Nomad" repeated over and over in amongst other wording.

I have sent off an email to B in B so see what that brings, will post it here.  If you find anything out sooner please do the same,

I have never heard this one before.   A commercial cut in at the end of the song so didn't get to hear the artist.  It may have been one song on an album. confuse

Australian Country & Wester Song "I'm A Nomad"

I heard this song on a program called "Born in Boots", a WA Country & Western program on Curtin FM, 100.1

It was called "I'm A Nomad" but they didn't announce the singer as they cut into the end of it with a commercial.

I have emailed them to see if they can tell me the name, but don't expect a quick answer as they are staffed by volunteers.

Has anyone heard of it or know the singer please? confuse

I just spoke with Curtin FM they ran through their playlist but could not find it. Borninboots.com try that and contact the presenter.

Did you here it today?

If you can remember some of the lyrics then try www.lyrics.com

But I did find this

Thanks Barina......I got the name wrong.... see this reply from Brendon on 100.1 FM for "Grey Haired Grandad"

 Hi Vic

Thanks for comments and the song you are after is by a local artist Michael Blake (goes under stage name Outback Paddy) called "Grey Haired Grand dad" and is from a 3 song CD called "Cruisin' Down Freedom Road".

You can email Michael direct at michael@happydaymusic.com.au

Check this link to hear a sample of the Grey Haired Grandad song, the Cruisin is a good one too.  About mid way down the page;    http://www.outbackpaddy.com/MyMusic.aspx

I think he should have one called "Grey Haired Grannies" as well, a good proportion of these on the road too, partners and singles, not just Grey Haired Grandads......smile

Outback Paddy is a great entertainer
Whilst we were in a caravan park in Kununurra WA (2010) he put on a great free show in the park.
Fun songs good jokes a good nights entertainment was had by all.

cheers

Mike
