STAN COSTER'

S traight from the start.'
T rue blue allways for you
A ustralia allways in his heart.'
N ever one to turn his back.'


C oster known, the country round'
On that guitar, he strummed town to town
S ure supportive of ANZACS all..'
T reasure of so many, in outback halls
E very venue he played out his heart
R ecognised as an asset; Aussies value his art.!

And Stan gets a comment.' Way to do it too Thank you, thank you thank you.' To be fair When I was young i did not give him the attention.' I was too cool.? Anyway God bless Stans memory, a great mate of Slim Dusty they were sidekicks for decades (Lord help us take our country back!) In Jesus name.!

A true patriot. In word, song and deed. Sang truth to power, in the People's Language. Celebrated basic values of sincere, honest hard working, playing, old and new populations. His uniting message was deep abiding love, and rightful respect for those who cherished being good stewards of Precious and beloved Aussie lands and traditions. Not enough room here, to do his fine persona justice. Freedom loving. A great man! Entertainer and George Washington all in one. Great spirit!

Well I somehow managed to get in the wrong box Joe Dimino...But does it really matter? Great words for an Aussie hero.' Who was warning us in the 1980s may His voice ring through America. Too; true.'
