  • The music producer Maestro Lorenzo (Ren) Toppano is a master and GOD bless him for taking such keen interest and good care of Smoky's image. Smoky must had gotten a lot of pleasure from this experience in his sunset years.

And what a tune- this is such a beautiful song.Every time I watch it, I get tears in my eyes. The man may be gone, but his ledgend will last for eternity. He was a truly unique Australian that we can & will be forever proud of!

  • My wife and I were privileged to attend the "The HILLS CENTRE" in Sydney Australia on 19/2/2008 (Smoky's 95 birthday) to honor the passing of a great Australian. Mr. Smoky Dawson and Dot were part of Australian entertainment for 8 decades, starting in the 1920's through into WW 2 in an AIF entertaining unit right up to the passing of Smokey at 95 years in 2008. A GREAT GREAT AUSTRALIAN has left the this brown land of Australia to perform in Gods heaven.

  • RIP Smoky Dawson say hello to FLASH. God Bless yea Digger. FORDROAD AUSTRALIA.

  • must be the smoke in my eyes causing these tears-what a bloody beaudy Aussie man and legend

  • What a great song from a great man.

  • I found myself almost in tears watching this video. I dunno why. It just hit me.

  • i no why, cuz the cerain chemicals are released in your brain, if you didnt have them you would never cry to this doesnt metter what you thought of it

  • I get tears every time I hear the song as it is so much like my 81 yo dad.

  • Smokey presented me with my first Golden Guitar award about 12 yrs ago - he was so cool and encouraging.

    What a champion!

    He will be sorely missed!

    Mark.

  • May Smokey Dawson rest in peace. He was a wonderful human being and it was an honour performing with him in the Cocert Care programmes many times in 1988 especially at Expo88 in Brisbane.

    God bless Dot his lovely widow

  • I hope that Homestead is as Beautiful as you dreamt it to be Smokey X.RIP.X

  • Great old digger 90 and still singing wow

    there will never be another like him and at 90

    as well RIP Mr Smoky Dawson

  • Good on ya Smoky. A decent man who seems to have lived a life of love and positivity. A nation's loss, as your life ends.

  • Smokey used to march (not ride) in the Anzac Day march each year. Like so many of the digger identities, their ranks are thinning.

  • I love this song yet I never knew the guy o.O

  • I heard an interview with the producer Lorenzo Toppano tonight. He said that he recorded Smoky singing this song in his Lane Cove house in Sydney in 2005, a capella with no accompaniment. He was then 92. The instrumentation was added later. What a marvel Smoky is - no supporting instruments, and at the age of 92 he was the oldest recording artist in the world.... Bless him

  • RIP Smoky Dawson, Thank you for your many years of beautiful country songs!
