Steel Guitar and Railroads: The Indian Pacific

Kay Das · From: Los Angeles CA

The Indian Pacific starts its long Australian journey from Sydney and ends journey in Perth and then back again. This tune, composed by my Aussie pal, John Jeffries, has over 20 layered tracks, of which the steel guitar tracks are mine. You are offered a seat on the train as wheels go clackety-clack on the rails...enjoy the journey...

Route: Sydney - Adelaide - Perth
Duration: 3 nights in either direction
Distance: 4352 kilometres

The Indian Pacific gives you two oceans on one of the world's longest and greatest train journeys. But most of your cruising will be across the vast continent of Australia. From the spectacular Blue Mountains to the treeless plains of The Nullarbor desert, where the train travels the world's longest straight stretch of railway track (478 kilometres), see unique landscapes unfold and spot a fascinating array of wildlife....in particular a sighting of the magnificent Australian wedge tailed eagle, the symbol of this great train. It's massive wingspan of up to two metres will make it easy to spot in a clear desert sky....

Very, very beautiful Kay. I feel like the train is coming right through my living room.

Thank you for the appreciation, Andy...and great to hear from you, hope all is well.

Was there not a song in the 50s that had words that ran something like "The railroad runs through the middle of my house"....?

Sung originally by Vaughn Monroe...

The railroad comes through the middle of the house (twice)
The railroad comes through the middle of the house
The trains all come through the middle of the house
Since the company bought the land

They let us live in the front of the houseThey let us live in the back
But there ain't no livin' in the middle of the house
'Cause that's the railroad track

There's a great big door in the front of the house
There's a little old door in the back
But we can't have doors in the middle of the house
'Cause that's the railroad track

When a bill collector comes to the house
He knocks and bangs on the door
So we sit him right down in the middle of the house
And he never comes back no more

A relative came to visit the house
He liked to scream and fuss
So we sat him right down in the middle of the house
And he never bothered us no more

(CHORUS)

I'm singing this song in the middle of the house . . .

I can't say that I ever heard that song before,Kay, but if you say there is such a song, then it must be true. I know a couple people I'd like to sit in the middle of the house.

Kay,

It's just as beautiful here....as it was there. At the HSGA, that is.
