Just to conclude that thought... to me there is a mild, but pleasant irony here, in that the "Bushwhackers" unit, which originally started as a hasty pastiche of older style (possibly even imaginary) "bush" folk musicians re-enacted by young(er) city folks for the purpose of light entertainment, became the springboard from which Meredith, Hood and others got seriously bitten by the folk music "bug" and went on to become legitimate collectors and folk music performers in their own right, in the case of these two at least, setting the direction/s they were to pursue for the rest of their lives, as well as becoming champions of "the music" and assisting in the rediscovery and promotion of genuine older performers such as Duke Tritton, Sally Sloane and others. From little things...
