Farmer John (Don Harris - Dewey Terry) Australia 1965 #28 Melbourne Single on W&G, B-side of Oh Donna, by Melbourne rocknroll singer and guitarist who released a handful of singles on W&G 1965-66 and appeared on the major TV pop shows, notably The GO!! Show. Farmer John was also on the W&G album Go Go Go. Backing was by Melbourne band The Strangers. The deep voice saying, Now looky here! belongs to John Farrar of The Strangers. Johnny Cooper started out in the early 60s with Melbourne bands The Mustangs and The Monarchs, and before going solo he was with The Saxons for a time as vocalist. He was a hard-working performer on gigs around Melbourne and beyond, and was still gigging well into the 2000s. JohnnyCooper.au had gone offline last time I checked (May 2013), but you can still access an archived version at Internet Archive. Its worth reading, not only for an honest account of Johnnys career from his perspective but also for a glimpse of the music scene in 1960s Melbourne.
