My Father is Gordon Parsons an Australian born Irishman. He wrote the song A Pub with no beer for Slim Dusty. And many more. We both use to sit and sing until his passing in 1990. He loved Big Tom McBride. I still play Dad and Tom's music to this day.
Big Tom was the best artist in the world for me. Alot of people like Elvis and Frank Sinatra may have had talent but for us Irish Tom was the best, he was our friend and we could relate to that easy gentle Irish man with a voice so gentle and easy listening. I miss you Tom. Keep er Country.
Time doesn't change a thing, miss the king more than ever. Thank you Tom for all the music and memories. you were , you are and you'll always be the King of Country music.
I ABSOLUTELY adored Big Tom.He appeared to be a proper IRISH gentleman. You could see @ hear that he loved his beautiful wife ROSE , and his children .l think l am right in saying he had 2 boys @ 2 girls. .We shall never ever get another gentleman like Big Tom. I loved how Rose @ Margo @Big Tom all had a great report with each other .I love Margo also.I loved the song she wrote for Tom @ herself .She wrote it in the right time as Tom only lasted a year after the song going viral .Well Tom I would like to let your loving family that this wee tribute to you and Rose .( THE PLEASURE HAS BEEN MINE ).GODBLESS YOU @ ROSE .MAY YOU BOTH R.I.P. TOGETHER ALWAYS .YOU ARE BOTH IN HEAVEN , BUT YOU SHALL NEVER EVER BE FORGOTTEN .I LIVE IN PERTH SCOTLAND NOW .BUT I AM IRISH TO THE CORE .I LOVE MY IRISH ROOTS. KINDEST REGARDS ELIZABETH XXXX
