Recognised as among the top musical comedy groups in the country, the Sensitive New Age Cowpersons have under their belts stints with Slim Dusty, Keith Urban and Paul Kelly, as well as a 2005 Golden Guitar nomination for their song, “Twangin’ the Wires”.

Jim Fisher and Ian Simpson joined Johnno to talk about their tour and their brand of musical humour. It all happened in the Saturday Night Country, Sound Lounge.

Out and about again!

what a great night. Went to the Judith Wright Centre in Fortitude Valley to see The Sensitive New Age Cowpersons. Such a hoot. I think I saw them at Woodford the first year I was in Queensland while I still felt energetic enough to wade throught the mud. Used to see them a lot in Fremantle- and heard them on the radio. Great to see live- funny although missing John Reed. I do have a photo but am using my lap top as my computer is ill and I can't figure how to load a photo from here. Anyway I haven't laughed so much for ages. Abba, Queen, the national anthem.... and some of their own numbers.. such as "Daddy Wore a Mullet" beautiful sentiments.. all done bluegrass style. Which was good to see as I heard last night a friend who had been diagnosed with cancer died yesterday. Life seems odd. She was such a caring, sweet, strong person. She had two degrees, worked hard and kept fit. So it just seems absurd sometimes. I am not fit, or sweet and yet still here - I remember when my mother died when I was 21 and I recieved a cheque from her workplace for half of her superannuation (brother and self)and staring at this piece of paper thinking "this is what a life amounts to".. bitter and sweet in one weekend. Life seems to be like that. It feels I should be making some difference while as I am using the options of the planet. My water recylcing attempts will have to do.
