Rowan: Hi. Haven't got that sorted yet; I still don't know how that notation works. I did a bit of googling, and found out all about Thatcher. Interesting story. I had a look through a couple of books of Aussie songs that I bought a while back, and found three or four of his songs. I also spotted a book of them for sale from a museum in NZ. I might order one when I've got a bit of spare cash. The postage from there is probably a mortgage job! Watch for developments...
Guru: Thanks for that info. I'm not at any of those festivals, although at one stage I thought I was going to be at Upton with an Appalachian team I play for. But we didn't have enough dancers available. Maybe next time. I'll watch out for other Mudgathers. There isn't one at Chippenham, I suppose? I'm ther dancing with Rumworth Morris - and praying for rain; the heat kills me!
