Greg Ham, best known for his flute riffing in the song Down Under by Men at Work has died aged 58 in Melbourne. A great musician… this song etched into Australian music history.
One thought on “Vale Greg Ham: Men at Work – ‘Down Under’”
This song, Olivia and eventually Kylie turned me into a total Aussiephile. It's what everyone in America thinks of when we think of the Land Down Under (besides Priscilla, Kylie, Nicole Kidman, Olivia & Helen Reddy). Sad to hear about Mr. Ham. His flute playing was so haunting. It's what made the song so iconic in America.
