Mark - your choice of music tonight is excellent!

I had the pleasure of meeting Slim at Tamworth in 2000 - an unpretentious and gracious man only too happy to spend time with some scrubbers from the bush. I treasure the autographed table napkin ( the only piece of paper handy) inscribed Many Happy Campfires - Slim.

RIP indeed

Cheers

Wow ten years. Time certainly does fly.
