A Farming Man - I never lived on a farm but I remember as a kid accompany my father to many farms. He had a tractor and farm machinery business. I also spent my teenage years working on farms around the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area.

The Pub at Pleasant Hills - I did a gig at the Pleasant Hills pub in 2010 and was amazed to find out from my father that my grandfather tried his hand at farming in the early 1900's not far from the pub.

Take Me to the Backyard - Our national passion for backyard crickets continues to live on in the nation's psyche!

Full Moon Tonight - My mate Peter Knight's father wrote in his diary about his war time experiences as a bomber navigator flying missions over Europe in World War 2. In particular he mentions how much more frightening it was when they flew in moonlight - they became much more visible to enemy fighters.

A Widow's Son - Ned Kelly's Jerilderie Letter explained his side of the story. He referred to himself in the letter as "A Widow's Son".

Dirty Old Town - A song made famous by the Pogues

Boree Creek - My old Mate Clem Gooden and I wrote some sixty songs together over a 10 year period. He was in his 80's when he started writing. He lived at Lockhart and wrote extensively about the area and the people who lived there.

Bagtown Ball - Griffith is my hometown and was called Bagtown in its early days. Many dwellings were made from hessian wheat bags. I played at many dances there in my early musical days.

Lockhart - The Verandah Town - Lockhart is Clem's home town and this is the first song we wrote together.

The Brookong Rum - This song is another co-written with Clem about a famous station that thrived in the mid 1800's and was located to the west of Lockhart.

When the Water Came In - a lot of the Riverina was affected by floods in March of 2011. Scott is a camera man for Prime TV in Wagga. He wrote this insightful song after covering the floods for the news.

Lost in Love - A great love song to finish off.
