"Born 1913, Alf plays button accordion and has an extensive repertoire of yarns - not so-called set pieces - but based on local characters and happenings. Some are tragicomedies, such as that of the lad who shot dead his mother while she was sitting on the dunny, and of the drunk who tried to vault a barbed wire fence, got caught by his trouser cuff, spent the night in frost and died of pneumonia. And of the bull that charged through a fibro dunny after the occupant" - label on verso of mount.
