Dear dj,
CK Stoneking is an Australian but, although he lived for a while in my inner- Sydney suburb of Balmain, I do not recall ever meeting him.
He mixed a little with the jazz youngsters in Melbourne and several (Steven Grant, Chris Tanner, Mark Elton, Andy Ross, Lynn Wallis) are included are on his CD album 'King Hokum', of which I have a 'research copy' - probably from my mate and DJMLer Phil O'Rourke.
I would loosely put CK musically into the same basket as the US-eccentric Robert Crumb. Someone who certainly knows his blues.
The following link provides more information than his website:

Kind regards,
Bill.
