A late message as I couldn't get onto the Cat for a few days, then had visitors stay. Thanks Bob for the tune suggestions. I think I know the family you mean. Ten Thousand Miles Away would fit, but the full tune would stretch over two stanzas. There is advantage in using a known tune or tune family, as people can join in! Charley and Judy - Glad your Northwest Passage got you safely home. Well, that's the way I visualise a flight to Maine, being innocent of any dealings with the Pacific, but I guess you really went Northeast! And the journey ain't over til the cats are happy. If you or the Aussie Catters want some more amusement, I just found by chance the Aussie Glossary on the Mudcat, which is entertaining if slightly dubious here and there. Cheers, Chris
