The Mystery Of Waltzing Mathilda Explained

"Waltzing Matilda" is Australia's best-known bush ballad, Waltzing Matilda has been described as the country's "unofficial national anthem".

The title was Australian slang for a person travelling on foot (waltzing) with one's belongings in a "Matilda" (swag) slung over one's shoulder. The song relates the story of a vagrant man, or "Swagman", making a drink of "Billy" ( tin pot) tea at a bush camp and capturing a stray "Jumbuck" to eat. When the jumbuck's owner, a landowner, and three troopers (mounted policemen) pursue the swagman for theft, he declares "You'll never catch me alive!" he commits suicide by drowning himself in a nearby "Billabong" (watering hole), after which his ghost haunts the site.

WHO WERE CARL AND THE PASSIONS?

 Who Were Carl And The Passions?

If my memory serves me right, "So Tough" is the first and final album by Carl and the Passions, they chose an apt-name for the title of their album because of that toughness and passion, they went on to become legends under a new name. The serious minded and reclusive Brian (having endured another triumph with their last album, seems to have abdicated the leadership of the organization into the capable hands of brother Carl; only two of the album’s eight cuts were composed by Brian, with lyrics by Jack Reilly, and he obviously arranged a third and did the heavy orchestration on brother Dennis’ two contributions. Two numbers were jointly written by the two non-Wilson veterans, Al Jardine and Mike Love, and the remaining pair were penned by Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar, guitarist and drummer respectively, who were recruited from a defunct South African band, Flames, which this band had brought to the U.S.A. to record with them. The project never happened. Have you figured out who this world famous group was?
