Interesting... What the record keepers won't tell you is that South Australia at the time wasn't very populated and the only team they could put together at such short noticed comprised the town drunk, the mayor, a sailor, a dead bloke in a coffin, and 2 sheep, a Wallaby, a Cow and three barrels of rum. |

It would appear Johnny Horton missed a lot of good things to sing about.
