Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band from the _deep_ south

Remember these guys?
Ever heard of them?
They were a band from the deep, deep south (Australia) in the early '70s, but Jim and Mic Conway still perform, but separately.
I had their Smoke Dreams LP in the '70s, lost track of it, and suddenly slid back 45 years. I searched YouTube and -- lo, and behold -- there they were! Check them out, they'll change your life:
