Old Jack the Aussie Gleeman in
Old Jack meets Banjo Paterson
OLD JACK, ever since he was a wee lad, has admired and enjoyed the poems of Andrew Barton (Banjo) Paterson. Who hasn’t?
For almost as long he has tried to write some of his own, telling his stories in a similar rollicking style, and in the process discovering a lot of fun.
Now you too can share the fun.
Thus you will meet again here and find new enjoyment in such long-term Paterson favourites as:
Clancy of the Overflow
The Man from Ironbark
Johnson’s Antidote
Shearing at Castlereagh
Mulga Bill’s Bicycle (well, an OLD JACK variation upon)
The Geebung Polo Club
Frying Pan’s Theology
As well, of course, not only that all-time favourite –
The Man from Snowy River
but also some of OLD JACK’s own favourites in similar vein.
Plus, as a special bonus, some bush-style audience participation.
