TEX MORTON - the country touch(1967)

NZ Country legend Tex Morton cut a swarthy story of a life. I don't know how I came to have a tape of this program in my possession but it should definitely be shared.
There's a good article on Tex here

Tex was a great friend of my father's, Slim Dusty & RM Williams - he's so sadly missed - I hope Australia never forgets his wonderful talent. I used to listen to his old songs on my cassette player as a kid - this clip is such a treasure...he really was an amazing talent...may he Rest In Peace...

The Hamilton County Bluegrass Band travelled around Australia with Slim Dusty during the 1970's - Colleen is a great fiddler....This clip is fabulous piece of Country music history... Tex is a Legend - RIP Tex - Thanks for posting

Nice to know Bob, one of Tex's sons is active in music. Great. Tex was a real neat fellow, and great friend to me.

my pleasure Hankfrank. I came across it purely by chance and I'm happy I could put it up here for us all to see instead of it languishing in some tv vault.
