John in Brisbane	Origins: Land o' the Leal (53* d)	RE: Lyr Req: Land o' the Leal	12 Jan 05
Some minor mysteries here for me. I recently had the pleasure of seeing and hearing Dick Gaughan several times at the Woodford Festival here in Queensland. My memory is (perhaps incorrectly) that he attributed the authorship to Brian McNeil. Dick's accent is broad and the acoustics weren't always perfect. Is there a McNeil 'Leal' song or have I cocked this up? My printed version of the song has different lyrics to the DT, but I haven't had the chance to compare them with those in Malcolm's post. Not everyone will agree with me but I do like the harmonisation in my score, which (I'm guessing) probably dates from the 1930's. I'll produce an ABC version with chords when I get the chance. Regards, John
