The late great WATSON(Noel Watson)
17 December 1942 to 10 October 2013
Watson became a member of Woodwork Forums, September 2006 and was an administrator here on Woodwork Forums. He went over to Renovate Forums as Administrator when the forums were taken over by Oneflare.
What most people don't know about him is that Noel was a lot more than that. When Rock n Roll was in its infancy here in Australia, Noel was in the middle of the Rock n Roll scene. Writing songs for Rock stars and playing with bands like the Thunderbirds and in RnR Idol Merve Bentons band the Tamlas. He later ended up in the Australian Army for many years from 1968 to 1987, serving with distinction in Vietnam and....
Then more bands, a goat farm and a whole lot more. Here is a link to Noels brilliant, iconic, version of Waltzing Matilda (http://youtu.be/s5cyPtwOskw) at 1988 VFL Grand Final. Have a look at some of the comments below the video they're well worth a look to give you a feel of what we had and lost.
Noel also made regular appearances on the Ray Martin "Midday Show" and Bert Newton "Good Morning Australia" in the late 80's & 90's.
Below is a link to Noel Watson Story. Click on the link for a lot more about a great man. Been gone for 10 years almost but definitely not forgotten by those of us who knew and loved him.

Someone had to kick this forum off so this should do it. If you watch Noels videos be warned that some of them may bring a tear to your eye.
Cheers - Neil :U
