G'day Hrothgar, Margret, lamarca, Sandra & Julanne,

Thanks, Hrothgar, for the posting ... sad to see old Bill go - we needed him around for a lot longer!

lamarca, another of Bill's songs that I love is another that Gordon Bok sings (on the TBM CD Harbors of Home) - that little gem: Old Man's Song. I haven't quite got to the "sit in the sun" stage - but I love Bill's concluding line:

"What good is your life, if it isn't a song?"

(I'm not sure if I ever posted that one. It's not in the DT ... but neither are scores of Australian songs I've posted over the eight years I've been coming here! I'll check against my 'traced' threads ... and, maybe post it here.)

Regards,

Bob
