I served him his gin and lemonade this arvo while he was in shout with a few of the old guard at the "Torres". He tipped me a few gold coins which I then promptly put in the jukebox and played a few of his memorable tunes. It is a privilege to have him pop in now and then to say gday to the "Torres" folks :) 82 not out not a bad average Awa ;)

I met Uncle Seaman when I worked at the Wongai on Horn Island in 2008. He really wad so warm and friendly to everyone. And I love his music.

I have personally met seaman Dan, and heard him perform. He is a wonderful musician, but an even kinder man

Steady, steady, Awa Dan is still playing every Wednesday night at the Wongai on Horn island and every Sunday at the Torres on T.I. such a happy, genial person.

they broke the mold when they made this man.

Fabulous man.. so glad someone stuck a microphone in front of him at age 69 and gave us all this talent forever..

Great story.
