First saw John sing in 1982. There was no audience in the lounge if the Moomba hotel West Melbourne when he began to sing his first song Ol'man Emu. By the end if the song everyone was in that room. Couple of years later he packed out Dallas Brooke's Hall. An amazing Australian. His song for the families of lost Australians from the Bali bombing "flower on the water" would be one if his best.
