G'day,
Valda: I have just been mentioning this issue privately to a couple of cyber-friends on MudCat!

Your article on Sally Sloane has some great new information and really 'fleshes out' this great singer and musician. I'll have a draft version of Gay Scott & Dale Dengate's Sally Sloane Songbook up and circulating sometime next week (and must remember to include you in the loop!).

BtB/Sam: Lights of Cobb & Co is firmly in my repertoire - and the songs taught at my Monday Night Music Workshop, at the Bush Music Club. However, we do the tune the way it was modified by the Bush Music Club Concerty party ... or even the original 1952 to 1957 Bushwhackers Band.

The tune is melodically Smoky's ... but the rhythm has a 'synchopated' style, compared to his 'flat' 4/4 (probably courtesy of John Meredith's reworking) - and the verses are somewhat edited for clarity ... and the song is trimmed to a length acceptable to modern audiences!

Regards,

Bob Bolton
