Johns still kicking here on youtube even still pumps out the odd album or two every once in a while but hes also gotten on in years since the golden age
This song is a great one to live by; If these boys could keep a smile on through all the s**t they had to deal with, then the rest of us should be able to smile in the face of our first world "problems". Hats off to the boys who kept a positive perspective in the face of all odds. Rest easy boys. Per Ardua!
Rhodesia had a stable currency a thriving economy, plenty of agriculture, lots of industry, plenty of running water, electricity, air conditioning, fully stocked grocery stores, universities hospitals, and then suddenly everything started to crumble. I wonder what happened
It's never late for lyrics Oh, the whistlin' troopie's coming home again The whistlin' troopie's on his way You can hear him whistlin' even though he's down He whistles all his blues away Keep your spirits high, smile away the cloudy sky Let the sunshine paint a golden day Like a whistlin' troopie, even though you're down Whistle all your blues away
terry packer The pictures are mostly from SADF yes, the song how ever was written for the Rhodesian soldiers. But SADF and Rhodesian people and army had so much incomen, that the song fits both sides - almost all of Edmonds songs can be related in some way to the Afrikaners. Jhon Edmond is a proud Rhodie.

No wonder we lost the war. Zanla songs deep in Africa. Rhodie songs deep in.... what?
Nicola Taylor We did nót loose any of the three wars. Rhodesia, as Namibia and South Africa was GIVEN away by traitorous policians.
