Thanx Agent Ruby Gamer 4 life

[christangey]

Sorry, didn't direct that clip and don't even know if there was one, it's pretty early JW.

[Disillusionary]

Heya :) I'm 13 atm and have liked John Williamson since I was around 6. I've seen him 4 times now, he is amazing and has beautiful lyrics. Btw, Im from the UK. I really like the songs Wrinkles, Salisbury Street, True Blue, Rip Rip Woodchip & I'll Sing You The Outback. Thanks for uploading this! <3

[iwinatlife18]

all great songs that I also like. my favourites are wildlife warriors, river cryin' out, camel boy, hawksbury river lovin', diamontina drover, joy of the journey and hillbilly road. did you come down here to australia to see him or was he in the UK?

[AustraliaRockstar]

Brilliant song! Thanks very much for posting. Its culturally opened up a new kind of music for me.

[KBEARINDY]

about his wife how romantic. I didn't know of this man either till steve died

[junaid1]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful song and video. I had never heard of John Williamson until the Steve Irwin Memorial. We seem to be a bit culturally deprived here in the States. Are there any dvds of his music that you could recomend? The little I've heard proves to me that John is a tremendous talent. I'm glad he was friends with Steve.It makes a lot of sense.Thanks again.

[christangey]

I can recommend a dvd, but I'm biased! "Chandelier of stars" is John's latest album and we produced the DVD for it here at Alice Springs Film & TV. John's site has it. If you would like an intro to JW's music I suggest you go to iTunes store Australia. I think everyone needs to start their journey with John at "Cootamundra wattle", it translates anywhere! You should also try "A bushman can't survive", "Wrinkles", "Only 19", "Rip Rip woodchip" & the lighthearted, "old Man Emu"&"The Budgie song".

[christangey]

I forgot to mention, this clip is actually from the DVD I mentioned

[dyball24]

its from chandalier of stars isnt it????

[christangey]

Yes, that's the album

[christangey]

Just a quick note to let people know. John will be playing his 40th anniversary concerts at the Sydney Opera House with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra THIS Friday night and Saturday afternoon, October 29 and 30!

[KBEARINDY]

I agree that we're culturaly deprived...

[jdigescu]

I never heard of John until Steve's tribute. Really moved me. Great work!

[axlrose31699]

wow great stuff

[Tecobelli]

I read that John was a favorite of Steve Irwin and that he might play at Steve's memorial service so I did a search to hear John's music. I'm very moved by this song and will certainly purchase any of his music I can find. Beautiful.

[christangey]

John has been called Australia's Willie Nelson, and in some ways the comparison is fair. He is passionate about his country and has led many fights, including environmental ones. Through song he has saved koala habitats and taken on huge forestry companies to save old growth forests from the appalling practice of "woodchipping"-in other words obliteration. I'm honored to have directed many of his videos. I could easily see Steve wanting him to sing at his memorial.

[axlrose31699]

you have? that awesome! i met John in Lismore and he is also a top bloke!

[XaviHernandez]

great song! i thought i knew all his songs, but this i didn't. i recommend "you and my guitar" also

thanks very much

[axlrose31699]

i had never heard this one either. Will check out my guirar soon.
