What are you listening to now

Been married to an Aussie for 16 years now, and between her Aussie humour and my Southern redneck humor, there's seldom a dull moment around here. I differentiate between Southern Rednecks and others, because there is definitely a difference, but you can find rednecks anywhere on the planet. They might be called something different, such as wanker, or Jasper. I've earned the title Bloody Yank in Oz, I'm no longer a Septic with the in-laws and acquaintances. It was a pretty big step up for me. Maybe they just figured they were stuck with me .....

Honestly mate we don't get that many Americans visit down Aus. Well the places I live.
You must admit your accent does stick out like dog balls down here:).
Alot of American soldiers came out to Aus around second world war before mu time.
I know alot of Aussie women married a few yanks who were stationed here most likely involved in the Papua New Guinea conflict.

Anyhow that's what makes the world awesome all different cultures and languages within a language diversity I feel is the spice of life;)

If we were all the same man this would be a boring world!

Funny you say that. We went to Moonta (Eyre Peninsula, Copper Coast) on one of our day trips. Moonta is not what you'd call a big place, nor a main attraction, but it's got some pretty rich history with the Cornish miners. We got outta the car just as a bus pulled in and started unloading. Turns out it was a bus load of kids from Chicago doing some kinda tour in SA. In Silverton (where Mad Max was filmed), we were waking around in the outdoor museum with all the movie props from that and ran into a couple from Indiana. Went up to the Gold Coast, Brissy, Movie World. More Yank accents there than Aussies, because Yanks think they're going to Oz if they go to Melbourne, Sydney, or Brissy. Nah. Not gonna get a real taste of Australia in those towns. They're so Americanized the only reason I'd go to any of them is the main attractions for a day trip. Real Oz is in the Outback. I find it a lot like the culture in rural Alabama, actually. Friendly folks that'll wave at ya whether they know ya or not. At least I think they're waving. But I did thoroughly enjoy Australia Zoo (Steve Irwin was still alive when I visited), and Ettamogga Pub. Had stuck my toes in the Pacific in California once, so did it on that end at Brisbane. The SIL and family live near Brisbane, the BIL and FIL live down in Port Pirie, about 3 hours north of Adelaide. I've been Downunder 12 times. I still like going, other than that brutal trip. 36 hours of travel time from when we leave Alabama and get to Port Pirie.

Yeah not many yanks on the Sunnie Coast I steer clear of Gold Coast at all costs! I'm no glitz n Glamour fella and your likely to get your car broken into or asulted some shady thugs like to live in that party town.

It's not the Ettamoga pub no more it sold I do the Pest control there I've flicked a pick or two in the random photos section of the many ghorish mannequins that haunt the Aussie World theme park which the now "Banana Bender" pub now resides.
It's like a massive Balinese Hut with a real laid back theme. Inside there are surfing kangaroos and koalas and number plates and different illustrations from floor to ceiling.
It's a big tourist stop over pub if your going north on the Bruce HWY.

Cool Aussie Zoo is in my neck of the Woods Roadie if your ever back this way let me know I'll be glad to fill you with beer n bullish!t anytime:D!
 
Happy (belated) 80th to Mick. Peter Tosh would have been 79 in October.

 
Saw an update to this, and then went down the rabbit hole. Been listening to Home Free most of the day while doing a couple memory upgrades on some laptops and getting one ready for my granddaughter to use for home schooling. I'd never heard of them before, but stumbled on one of their covers on YouTube. Strangely enough, they're from Oxford, Alabama, not more than 70 miles from here. Those dudes have some SERIOUS vocal talent. One has to wonder how they've stayed together and why none has gone out solo with a band somewhere. They're one of the best acapella groups I've ever heard. One of 'em actually sings drums, and another does a fantastic bass guitar. The harmony is unreal.

My favorite is their version of Man of Constant Sorrow. The other acapella group I listen to is Pentatonix. It's amazing how full and rich a sound these bands can get without using any instruments. Other than their voices that is.
 
It is Friday. That means my big ass 80s playlist that I made on Spotify over a period of years. 1600+ songs.

They did a bang up job with “Seven Bridges Road”(The Eagles), too. One guy pretty much dedicates his voice to sounds like instruments, particularly percussion, and makes some pretty peculiar faces in that endeavor. He’s fun to watch, and looks a little like Jeff Dunham, too. I kept expecting to see Walter or Achmed (the dead terrorist). And the bass singer made things move around on my desk thanks to the subwoofer underneath. That guy has INCREDIBLE voice range. I just thought Hank Jr’s range was impressive. Their cover of “Elvira” with the Oak Ridge Boys was amazing, too.
My 15 year old granddaughter came in the office to sit and listen with me for a while. She loves harmonized music, and doesn’t really like long guitar solos, so typical Southern Rock is not her forte.
