After 25 years at sea, former Victorian fisheries department officer Alan Russ has found his forte. Known as "Rusty", he is entertaining patrons at Flagstaff Hill with his piano and button accordion and a traditional instrument of the sea, the concertina. A member of the Bendigo-based "Emu Creek Bush Band", "Rusty" is using his talents to bring to life the songs of the sea. "They were dirty songs, risque songs, but a lot of them have been cleaned up", he said.
