Whiskey is the Life of Man - Bellowhead.

My father who was one of the very last "round the horners" and thus entitled to sing shanties, used to sing "Whisky is the life of man" to a theme from Haydn's "Surprise symphony" to me when I was little, mother hated him doing it.

I like that Ian. Never 'eard of 'em.
Nice steel guitar, nice voice, nice C&W feel.
Thanks.

How about a little 70s folk rock? Stackridge reprise their opening of the FIRST Glastonbury at Glastonbury 2008 with Dora the Female Explorer, an early love of mine
