Subject: (Oz) Carol of the Birds From: Bob Bolton Date: 28 Dec 01 - 04:56 AM G'day, I think I was preparing to post these to the Mudcat back in December 1998 ... and probably decided not to because they are clearly under copyright – mostly written in the late 1940s. I looked back at the files when "Liland" requested Carols and Christmas songs from the southern lands of summer Christmas. I have already posted The Three Drovers in the Christmas in NSW, Australia – Bushfires thread, but I decided to make a bird of it and post the 6 other most popular of these carols (despite Christmas 2001 now being past) so people are aware of them ... and might even wish learn one or two before Christmas 2002! BTW: I feel that, despite copyrights, these should be posted, as they are not available in any current publication and the present bushfire menace (abating now ... until new high temperatures over the weekend ...?) highlights the way that Christmas in Australia has nothing to do with dark northern wintry forests and the trappings of pagan festivals, almost as far from Israel as they are from Australia. If you sing these, do so with joy. If you record them ... well, the references are there for copyright purposes. Regards, Bob Bolton
