Awwww - do you wanna know what the lovely nutty did? She went to the trouble of singing the tune into her computer, saving it as a *.zip file - verse and chorus - and sending it to me...

Nutty - thanks heaps for doing that...

Briefly... we wanted the tune/song because we (some local musos and the Top End Folk Club) are recreating the music and dance from a post-war club of Darwin in the 50's - The Sunshine Club. Some of this music was presented at the National Folk Festival last April (Canberra), and also at the Top Half Folk Festival in June (Mary River NT) - it is leading up to be the centrepiece of the Festival of Darwin in August 2002.

This might be the last time the remaining original players present this music, there are not many of 'em left, and those that are left are 'getting on'. I'll write a bigger blurb about this for mudcat sometime, but just thought I'd quickly fill you in...

Again - Nutty, thanks a bundle for going to the trouble. It is said that the internet is full of 'randomn acts of senseless kindness' - yours was one of them...

A dozen roses for you... --{--@ --{--@ --{--@ --{--@ --{--@ --{--@ --{--@ --{--@ --{--@ --{--@ --{--@ --{--@
