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:

Original Band (begun by Jim and Mic Conway)

Your Feet's Too Big (Mic sings)

Nagasaki

My canary Has Circles Under His Eyes

Half a Moon

I Can't Dance (I've Got Ants in My Pants)

That Cat Is High + Interview +Mobile Line

Keep on Truckin', Mama + Mother Goose song (check Google)

Recent, kind of

Hernando's Hideaway

Mic Conway's National Junk Band -- a few samples
