[SEL] OT........bush fires in Australia

[Jeff Allen]

Songs not bad. My dad was on the jump list that day and I still remember 
him telling me the story. All these years later I still feel his pain of 
those jumpers he knew and lost.

I have  no idea, of course, as to your musical taste but there is a folk-style  tune called "Cold Missouri Water" that you might find compelling.   Based upon a true story, it tells of a man named Dodge, chief of a jump  team that went to fight a fire in Montana in 1949.  Of the fifteen  that jumped that day, only two survived the ordeal, including Dodge who  bore the guilt of his fallen comrades for years.  Quite a story  and piece of music.  You can find it on the internet radio  services that specialize in the acoustic/folk genre.  It has been  issued by James Keelaghan and Richard Shindell.
