Bob-

What wonderful train songs! They clearly right up there with Utah Philips' "Starlight on the Rails" and the Carter Family's "Railroading on the Great Divide." They also confirm my suspicions about the delight of such travel, as a mode of getting from one place to another. Study them lyrics carefully, Brett, or we may be compelled to launch a new version of "Charley's on the MTA" at The Loaded Dog.

And with regard to the Sydney Fish Market, I do know exactly where it is in terms of longitude and latitude. We used to walk by it on our way downtown when we were in Sydney two yars ago. However, I did an inadequate job of collecting the cultural information required for refitting one of our dockside songs to the Fish Market area. With the help of our genial hosts, the Horvaths, we did a much better job over at Woolloomooloo.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
