1971 - 2017
a blind at birth little aboriginal child
from elcho island in the northern territory
found a guitar and at 6 taught himself
to play it left handed and upside down
the shy musician gave pleasure to all
became an international success
today he says goodbye to find sanctuary
with the spirits of his ancestors in the
eternal dream time place
