German born 72. Sa books of Rhodesia as a small Child. Love the Jacarandas and Flame lillies. Had a book. A book of a military unit as good as our Waffen SS , as good as the Spartians of leonidas, known the Selous Scouts.

Mr. Edmond, I don't know if you'll see this comment but all I can say is thank you. I'm a young Zimbo, and I have often lamented the state of the country. I always hear and see how much better it was in the old days. However, your music has inspired me many times to not loose hope for Africa. When I'm feeling down I sometimes listen to your songs about the bundu and it makes me want to enjoy the adventure and the beauty of Africa. When I listen to your troopie songs it reminds me of the sacrifices made by my forefathers to fight communism. I really have learned to respect all the old troopies in my life. Both my grandfathers were troopies, sadly I never meet them but I'm grateful for their service to the green and white. Your songs have inspired me to see being born in Africa as a blessing rather than a curse. So thank you Mr. Edmond for all your wonderful music and all the good memories and perspectives your songs have given me.

Yes, true! John Edmond karaoke! Someone tried JE songs in Finland without words, the karaoke versions would be the best! "Rhodesians never die" wakes some people up every morning.

As always, an uplifting song!! Looking forward to karaoke versions of all your songs one day!

Askari in South Africa had a whole different meaning John😁😁 But you know that!! Good one mate!!! They were brilliant soldiers none the less!!!!

Hope you're doing well. Love from Estonia!

Much love from America! Your music is amazing

Thank you John for all of your music. Own Troopie Songs on CD! Love from the USA!

John, you make incredible music. But, I must ask, what is YOUR favorite genre of music and YOUR favorite song?

Hi John, I've always wondered what the "blue stone" that gets slipped into your tea was. Do tell if you read this comment. Great song, I've loved it for a while now!

Beautiful stories, thank you for sharing. You are leaving a legacy that won't be forgotten or unappreciated.

TECHNICALLY A COLOURED, KHOI ANCESTORS LIKE JAN VAN RIEBEEK, ADRIAAN VAN DER STEL, SIMON VAN DER STEL

Interesting

God bless you sir.

John, what do you miss most about Rhodesia?

Wonderful to see you still making music after all these years John! I wish more of the youth knew about your music

Cheers! We shall overcome rushism together! Glory to Ukraine and all people of good will who stay against modern fashism, putin`s rushism!

I love that song 🙌

This song brings a tear to my eye

Mr. Edmond, your music was my entrance to the history of Rhodesia. I am very glad to see your are doing well. As a veteran your songs have a special meaning to me, even if they speak of a time I was never apart of. Many of the messages and lyrics remind me of the good and bad times of being in the service. God bless you and your music, and cheers from Rhode Island.

That's great John, thanks for sharing, Cheers!

Long live the Boers!

Thank you John, I love when you do these shorts and tell us great facts about Africa and cool tid bits about your music and where your inspiration comes from!

Based + Educative, John really is the coolest elderly man I have seen on this platform.

Oh I just love Mr. Edmond's stories, it's almost like listening to your grandfather!

Drinking isn’t a sin either so ❤😂

Mr. Edmond, I listen and share your tunes at the job site. Your music and lyrics are informative and generate curiosity. A lot of people find courage and truth in your work.

I fell in love with your music and the history of Rhodesia. For a month now I've been listening to you exclusively, whether at work or in the car. I wish you good health. Greetings from Poland

Groove only accomplished by the Rhodie men. Unfathomably funky. Keep it up, John.

You still got it, keep it up man 👍

Your the best John, listen to you every day.

This is so interesting. I love your music Mr. Edmond

I love it.

John Edmond you are a Treasure! You are Rhodesia’s version of Barry Sadler, I truly appreciate your Troopie Songs. I listen to them all the time, thank you for being such a wonderful storyteller.

Ill never pass up a chance to listen to a John Edmond song!

A great song, deserving of a video; glad to see it get one. Keep it up, John!

Listening from Brisbane, Australia

love your work john, from australia 🙌

Hot dang! That was more rockabilly than I was expecting at midnight 😅. Well I'm awake now 😂 appreciate all the music you make Mr. Edmonds. Currently trying to memorize your No Tigers in Africa to lullaby soothe my new twin identical boys.

This is the earliest I've been to an upload. Pretty cool.

Looking healthy!

Sit Nomine Digna 🟩⬜🟩

I’ve been listening to the few songs of yours that I haven’t heard yet each day while I’m at school and I heard wheel chair warrior today!! Also I found “Salome, Jenifer and me” today which is now one of my favorites! Would love to see a video about that one

LONG LIVE RHODESIA 🟩🐐⛏️🐐🟩

Rise old Rhodesia

Hello John, have you seen Wowsaka? It's here on TH-cam, when I saw it, this song is exactly what came to mind. Wishing you well, Cheers!

John, this is a great song and it resonated with me strongly, as I also come from a place destroyed by Soviet funded Communism (Manchuria). Just one question: In the description, you say ZIPRA downed two Rhodesian Civilian Airliners. I found one to be Air Rhodesia Flight 825 from Kariba to Salisbury; what is the other one?

Good to see you; greetings from Gloucestershire - I'm a Marondera boy, went to Waddilove Missionary School when the country was a little hospitable, with decent civic amenities, despite the horror of apartheid!

Love the song. Thank you, Sir.

The country is now a $hithole, thanks to black politicians - I was a schoolboy at a Harare African Secondary school before leaving the country in early 70s; despite the abominable oppression, the country was organised, civil amenities clean, infrastructure reasonable - now that's all gone; sewage smell starts at the airport - in short, the country & its people have gone to the dogs!
