G'day,

This is a correction of what looks like an accidental ommission of a name in the notes to DigiTrad's: BOLD JACK DONOHUE (2), (the version collected by Alan Scott from Mr H. Beatty of Hawthorne Qld). If you look at the second sentence, you will see that it is incomplete. I suspect the original poster was checking the name / spelling ... and then posted without any name at all. This causes confusion, as Alan Scott did not bring out the book - his friend John Meredith did. (Meredith, John, The Donahoe Ballads, Red Rooster Press, Ascot Vale, Victoria, Australia, 1982). The first sentences of the note should be as below (I have bolded the name that was missed out(:

This version collected by Alan Scott from Mr H. Beatty of Hawthorne Qld.
In his booklet The Donahoe Ballads John Meredith gives some 16 tunes that have been collected. ...

Regards,

Bob Bolton
