Jack, Dangerous? I think the only thing that makes me dangerous is my Kimber and my Colt 38 special, and, of course, a license to carry a concealed weapon.
sigh . . . . i'm sure it's probably my fault . . . . . must of been that AC/DC one i posted about those American thighs . . . . i'm thinking it pretty much did him in . . . . afterall . . . he IS just a "wee" bit straightlaced . . . . .
Well, from what I gather, a "waltz" is a wandering, and a "Matilda" is slang for that thing they carry over their shoulder for all their belongings. I wonder how many Aussies or others know that they are not singing a romantic song?
Dana, I kinda hope we didn't scare him away, I kinda liked the music he posted-even if he didn't like mine, LOL
I was wondering why Jack's Buff club got moved to chit chat but Hammerin Honey's is still under General farrier talk? Shouldn't they both be under Off Topic? A farrier started Buff Club, it's really not owner chit chat
I guess George, I'll have to find that other pic of me forging at Warrens back in dec. 3rd `06 and put it up under hammerin' honeys
Jack, You're an Aussie and certainly must know what the song is about. I got my info off Wikipedia Waltzing Matilda From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For the album by André Rieu and Mirusia, see Waltzing Matilda (album). Photograph of a swagman circa 1901 "Waltzing Matilda" is Australia's most widely known bush ballad. A country folk song, the song has been referred to as "the unofficial national anthem of Australia".[1] The title is Australian slang for travelling by foot with one's goods (waltzing, derived from the German auf der Walz) in a "Matilda" (bag) slung over one's back.[2] The song narrates the story of an itinerant worker, or "swagman", making a drink of tea at a bush camp and capturing a sheep to eat. When the sheep's owner arrives with three police officers to arrest the worker for the theft, the worker commits suicide by drowning himself in the nearby watering hole, after which his ghost haunts the site. The original lyrics were written in 1895 by poet and nationalist Banjo Paterson. It was first published as sheet music in 1903. Extensive folklore surrounds the song and the process of its creation, to the extent that the song has its own museum, the Waltzing Matilda Centre in Winton, Queensland.[3] In 2012, to remind Australians of the song's significance, Winton organised the inaugural Waltzing Matilda Day to be held on 6 April, the anniversary of its first performance.[4][5] The song was first recorded in 1926 as performed by John Collinson and Russell Callow.[6] In 2008, this recording of "Waltzing Matilda" was added to the "Sounds of Australia Registry" in the National Film and Sound Archive which says that there are more recordings of "Waltzing Matilda" than any other Australian song.[
Well, Jack, that's why I posted it.: Jack, You're an Aussie and certainly must know what the song is about. I got my info off Wikipedia Just wanted to say that you must certainly know more than Wikipedia!
