Subject: RE: Rise Up Mudcat Songbook - Australia
I've just made a quick list of traditional songs, collected & re-popularised in the revival of the 50s/60s.
They were all published by the Bush Music Club in Singabout (1956-67)
Maggie May
Nine Miles from Gundagai
The Neumerella Shore - 1 2 pages The Neumerella Shore - 2
The Wild Colonial Boy
The Black Velvet Band & The Old Bark Hut also in Singabout 5(1) 1963
The Drover's Dream & Wild Rover both also in Singabout 3(1) 1958
Old Black Billy (written in 1938 but thought to be trad. when it was collected)
and a couple of other classics which strangely enough were not published in Singabout! - Moreton Bay & Reedy River lyrics & video of Chris Kempster singing
