Hi Snuffy and Lighter,

I know you guys are among the regular posters here that have done the most hard work deciphering these cylinder recordings. So.. What do you make of the "South Australia" transcription by Carpenter, ascribed to JS Scott, that is is logged in the Carpenter Collection on-line (presumably by Bob Walser)? The first line is evidently, "Don't you hear what the Captain say," and there are 6 stanzas.

Carpenter Collection item, MS p. 03526

Do you think it belonged to another performance by Scott, or it was it perhaps an unrecorded stanza preceding you guys' five, or what?
