To become a successful song writer involves writing about a variety of subjects and doing the appropriate research into such subjects if that were necessary... This song came naturally for Buddy because of his early experience on farms at Dorrigo and Grafton NSW, and his recollections of his own litte pony he owned as a lad. 02:24 2. Wingie The Railway Cop 20/11/1941. When travelling north by rail from Brisbane it was usual for the nohnes to leave the train just short of Gympie walk around the town rejoining the train again a short distance to the north, this was necessary in order to dodge Wingle (Bill Connennan) the dreaded railroad policeman Buddy was one silly fellow who rode the train through and fell into the hookey arm of the law Anyway if Wingie missed you there was no second chance to dodge his short fused Alsation. 05:13 3. The Kelly Gang. 2/10/1953. The exploits of the famous Kelly Gang are well documented by many writers since the historic days of the gang's activities Now over one hundred years later the tradition is still with us, only style, dress, methods and mode of transport have changed. 08:29 4. Bushland Paradise. Vocal Duet With Lenore Miller. 16/3/1945. During his forty-nine years in show business Buddy has written some of Australia's greatest country songs "Music in my Pony's Feet", "Way out Where the White Faced Cattle Roam" and "Headin' For the Warwick Rodeo to name just three.... Regarding this song the unusual chord formation does express the many facets of Buddy's writing ability 11:34 5. The Ringer 5/10/1956. The main Ingredients required to become a top shearer s a strong and flexible back together with keenness and natural ability. In the pub on pay-day after a few drinks even the green horns become gun shearers, some eclipsing the records of the great Mark Conion. 14:40 6. Chain Lightning The Outlaw 13/9/1946. Buddy assembled his famous Touring Buckjumping Show in late 1945... Whilst travelling through southern NSW and the Riverina he added the horse White Devil to the outfit... As Chain Lightning this horse proved the most consistent and successful outlaw seen with the travelling shows for many years. 17:47 7. Going Home. 25/11/1940. For Buddy life ended at 3.00 PM. EST. on the 12th December 1986 at Kurwongbah a northern suburb of Brisbane... After service at St Andrews Anglican Church, Lutwyche Road, Wooloowin, Bucrly was laid to rest in Lutwyche Cemetery at Kedron eight kilometres north of the city For more than three decades Buddy and Grace had always accepted and treated me as part of the family and that is most gratifying to me personally... Buddy stood tall amongst all men if you never ever met him you were much the poorer for not having done so. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Provided to YouTube by Fan-T-raK Away Out on The Plains (Side 2) - Buddy Williams Away Out on The Plains © 1987 B.
