Brodie Buttons, "King Brown," // GemsOnVHS™

What would a trip to Australia be without a story about a deadly, poisonous beast? In true Steve Irwin fashion, Brodie gives us the dangerous tale we needed. No, it isn't the drop bears this time, it's the story of the King Brown, the baddest snake around. This big monster is known for its aggression, and loves to hang out under your house. Probably couldn't take Brodie in his wellington boots though, which he apparently has been wearing for two weeks straight. Man, I love Australia. Folks down there, they know how to have a laugh. They know how to treat a stranger, and they know how to play some folk music. We sat around the campfire as the sun went down, the whiskey flowed, the miniDV camera died and the banjo sung out. This is how acoustic music is supposed to be played, heard and enjoyed. This is how stories are best told; by campfire, with good friends new and old, over some good drinks. Brodie and the gang wouldn't have felt too out of place in my backyard in Tennessee, I reckon, or yours, wherever you are. Cus' that's how all good people enjoy a nice summer evening. If I ever go back, I'm gonna come find you again Brodie! And if you're ever in America, you and your family are my esteemed guests. That's Bobby Dazzla on the fiddle, an absolute gem of a man.
