Stunning song of his too. Any covers not so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can think of a few who played that way, including John Butler of Diesel Park West, but it's far more unusual to learn all the chords upside down like that. RIP Karl.

Wallinger just turned it around to play left handed, meaning he is playing all the chords in an odd way.

Saw him early 1990s at what used to be the Hofbrauhaus (no idea what it is these days). Absolutely brilliant live performance. RIP Steve.

Yes, I saw Steve at a festival in the mid 80's, never noticed him limp, perhaps it got worse with age ? One thing I do remember though was he was quite balding, I reckon he had a hair transplant, but good luck to him and RIP . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then there were questions asked in the House if something like this happened but now it seems like there`s one every day and it barely gets reported outside of the local area.
