G'day Judy & Charlie,

Well, at least this holiday will have put on a layer or two of insulation for back in (in)temperate Maine!

Chris: The song The Walloping Window Blind is a relative (a cheerful 'Music Hall' bastard ... ?) of the Ten Thousand Miles Away / Old Palmer Song group. I have old sheet music for it - and could e-mail you a GIF image ... if you're interested in the dots (or you could just bend the Old Palmer Song to shape!). Personally, I can't quite fit the local tunes ... so I will have a look at how The Walloping Window Blind actually sounds ... when I get home.

Come to think of, when I first read your words, I could hear something more traditional ... something very like Rolling Down to Old Maui sounds right on a second reading.

Regards,

Bob
