That's the one SC. He was very good. He was really was big here in SA as during those years we had conscription. So a lot of the guys in the army would listen to this, especially when homesick. These songs got passed on to those back home and the next thing you know, he had a huge cult following here in SA. Of course there was no internet in those days so no one knew what happened to him. That's where all the stories started.
