SMOKY DAWSON
Smoky was born Herbert Henry Dawson on the 19th March 1913.
He had a tough start in life, losing his Mum at an early age and then badly treated by his Father over a number of years until young Herbert was old enough to stand up to him.
Smoky's Autobiography 'Smoky Dawson A Life' published in 1985 is a regular on ebay and in 2nd hand shops and well worth reading. This small tribute is about Smoky's impact on Australian Radio.
At his peak with the Adventures of Smoky Dawson, the show was broadcasting on 69 stations.
What I would like to see is for posters to add facts that they have learnt about Smoky Dawson and post here. I have read wikis and other posts after his death and most contained incorrect information. So please post something factual and something that you think people should know about Smoky Dawson.
