Subject: RE: Lyr Req: the australian hot meat pie
Hi Tom,

This thread was passed to me by Richjoy, a keen 'Catter. I am one of the current Wayfarers, but there is a problem. There has been more than one group called The Wayfarers, even within Australia (I know there is at least one in England, because I pinched one of their songs recently ... oops, did I write that?). Anyhow, the tape title sounds like the sort of tape Stan and the mob would have done, but I have a lot of Stan's words, and none of the titles you have listed ring bells. I will have a further look, but don't hold out hope. This is further wrecked by Stan having lost a large chunk of his original collection of words, tapes, etc when his house went right under in the Brisbane floods in 1974. ("The Big Flood of '74", as they would say in Dibley.) The ray of light is that there must have been around a million members of The Wayfarers at some stage or other, plus fans of the group, so someone may still pop up with the words.

Regards,
Shimbo
