ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

No doubt some members of the ABPA will have already heard the sad news that my dear friend Hugh McDonald passed away last Friday.

I have posted a personal tribute on my website.

It can be found here:

This is such sad news, Stephen. Such a talented man! It was a pleasure and privilege to meet him last year at Toolangi and to listen to your delightful performances of songs from "The Two Bees".

Heartfelt sympathy to his family, to you and to all his friends from Rod and me.

Regards
Shelley

Thanks, Shelley. It is only now that he is gone that I am starting to appreciate just how much his friendship meant to me.
