"Reg Kurtz is married to Rita Kurtz (nee Holland, daughter of Fred Holland), and was a farmer at Stony Creek near Mudgee. With his brother Les, sons Bruce Kurtz and Ross Kurtz, and Keith Denny, they formed a bush band called 'Stringybark' that played all the old Holland family music." -- (adapted from) J Meredith, R Covell, P Brown, Folk Songs of Australia Vol 2, UNSW Press, 1987, p205-6.
