Who Put The Buds?

This song was written many years ago at a family camping holiday in Station Creek, between Grafton and Coffs Harbour. We went there nearly every year and used to enjoy writing nonsense songs to sing around the camp fire.
For my overseas friends, this song makes an allusion to a very famous story in Australian popular culture.
I performed it occasionally, usually with my kids and their friends forming a backing band.
Finally in early 2014 amidst the confusion of packing up my house and selling the business, I decided on a whim that it was time to record. After a lot of fiddling with the arrangement, I was ready to record with my dear friend Brett Hamlyn from Deva studios. Luckily I was able to call in the services of Jason Bannister on drums, Mark David on bass, Odette Nettleton and Jessica McElroy on back up vocals and Stirling Bowen on Hammond Organ.
It was such fun to put this together please enjoy. You can listen for free on YouTube or buy the song from CDBaby, itunes and the usual digital retail outlets. If you like it please share it on social media!
