Subject: RE: Political songs on Aboriginal rights
email from Bruce Watson -

Just out of interest, I re-recorded the song (The Man & the Woman & the Edison Phonograph) with Ronnie Summers in Tasmania earlier this year. He is Fanny Cochrane Smith's great great grandson, so we are 'related by song'(!) The recording will be published later this year in a package with a book called 'Ronnie: Tasmanian Songman'

And it will be on my next CD.

I have also written a song about massacres called "The War Without a Name" and have just finished one on language extinction in Australia.
