Warren Fahey takes readers on a wild ride through the music business, including his legendary Folkways Music store, fiercely independent Larrikin Record label, and behind-the-scenes of some of Sydney's most outrageous social events. Then, in the wink of an eye, he goes bush recording folklore and old songs, searching for signposts to the Australian identity. As a performer, he struts stages all over the world and Australia's outback, including remote Aboriginal communities and one-horse mining towns (where the horse has usually bolted) and then, in costume as 'Banjo' Paterson, performing alongside Max Cullen (as Henry Lawson) in their hugely successful two-man play 'Dead Men Talking'. Then there's another side, as Warren recounts stories about some of Sydney's notorious alternative underground parties where nothing was sacred and everything surprised. The memoir is revealing, quirky, and often hilariously funny as it firmly presses nostalgia buttons and celebrates the genuine Australian larrikin spirit.
