G'day Snuffy,

Hmmm ... about 5 years ago I promised to post both these songs to a thread titled "LYRIC ADD: HATS". I certainly have a distinct memory of posting both songs ... but I can't find the thread in my "Trace" list - and I can't find any such thread with a Mudcat search!

Anyway, now they are in their own thread. I can't compare the various other posted tunes, as the Mudcat MIDI page seems to be down ... and I have trouble reconstituting Alan Foster's MIDItext format. (I should get Alan on the blower and ask if there is a later version of the applet.)

I'm glad these versions helped decipher the Carpenter's version from the cylinder recording. All his has helped me put the Australian-collected versions into context and time.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
