Thanks Ken, they are only easy when you recognise them

This should go quickly

This is a young man with one of his first guitars

He grew up to be an icon, and possibly one of the most recognised men of his country

Who is this 17.jpg

Sorry Sandy, not Tommy Emmanuel

This man was known more as a singer, than a guitar player

That is the man, Jack

Slim Dusty

Who do you have for us all

Slim Dusty
Hes known universally as Australias King of Country, and its a title to which Slim Dusty can still lay an unchallenged claim, close to a decade after he passed away and took up his place at the head of the table in Country Music Heaven.
Slim has been the face of Australian country music for its entire history close to 70 years, since its early roots in hillbilly and folk music. In that time, he evolved with the industry setting the agenda and changing with the times.
Born David Gordon Kirkpatrick in 1927, at Nulla Nulla Creek near Kempsey, changed his name in 1938 at the age of 11 and never looked back.
In 1951 he married fellow country singer Joy McKean, and the pair set off on a lifetime of travelling Australia, performing the music that emerged from their much-loved homeland, and that conveyed its passion and spirit so well. Along the way, they brought daughter Anne Kirkpatrick and son David Kirkpatrick into the world.
