Subject: RE: Songs of Australian Working Life
G'day again,

MC Fat: I had a look to see if I could spot the thread which mentioned The Poison Train. I have not got it 'traced' ... presumably because I did not post the song, merely got involved in the discussion of it.

I called up all my posts ... but it dropped out at # 929, Sept 2000 ... and my quick scan does not uncover any thread title that rings a bell (or blows a train whistle) for this song. I think the thread refers to something else ... and this song just dropped in. It is not in the DT. If nobody finds it in the next day or so, I will repost it so that you have it ... but it definitely has been discussed and posted ... sometime!

Percustard: I presume that Da Capo have e-mailed back their search results and opening hours. I called by and found the "missing" book ... it was not on the shelf - even in the mess that browsers create by putting books back in the wrong spot ... It was sitting up, bold as brass, in a display fixture above the shelves! (Clearly visible ... but not where expected.)

I did not see any copy of Warren Fahey's Eureka ... book or Meredith & Scott's Ned Kelly ... in Da Capo. I was not able to check Cornstalk, because they close at 5.00PM ... just before I reach Glebe (roughly 20 minutes walk from here - and I usually leave at 4.45PM).

Regards,

Bob Bolton
