Hi Andrez (and others)...
Funny innit how things go around? Leafing through old ('60s) copies of Tradition (long defunct wonderful for the time Australian Folkmusic periodical, for you Northern Hemisphericans) only today (before we talked on the tellingbone), had me thinking in general about the expropriation of fair dinkum "Bush Music" by the poms past and present - the Bertsongs thread recently refreshed here on the Mudcat was food for thought too, as I mentioned to you, with reference to our late brother Rowan's reflections on the subject.
And Henry Lawson's...
"For it isn't no ill-feelin' that is gettin'up my back;
But I won't see this land crowded by each Yank and British cuss
Who takes it in his head to come a-civilizin'us."
The Geelong/Saints game replay has just started up here as we speak...

Peace...
