hi Helen, its good to hear that Merro's collecting work has had the same impact on you. His tapes are a rich motherlode with many rare, unpolished gems waiting to be played.

I've checked in his 1st book and didn't find any mention of this tune but I don't have the 2nd title. It would be great if you could look through your book too. I'm wondering if Meredith's notes held in the NLA might shed more light on his recordings of Sally's tunes and I might take a drive down to Canberra once I've completed transcribing her known tunes.

BTW, I can hear the similarity to the Miller of Dee - its definitely in the same 'family' as that tune.

thanks, Ian
