Hi John, Janet has been busily gathering material from all over. I believe I'm pencilled in to do some spoken word pieces in her presentation. She is now a Mudcat member with the moniker 'Gecko'.

I am sorry I can't help with any dots - such things are a mystery to me. The best I can offer is to send you an MP3 of the track. Let me know if you want that.

I'll pass on your regards to Tony and Jenny. I will be seeing them at a house concert at Peter Bate's place on Friday night.

The poem you refer to is Les Barker's 'Eval Schmeaval', more commonly known as 'Cosmo the Fairly Accurate Knife Thrower'. Barker is due up here in a couple of months time on his second tour of the Territory. I have been doing 'Cosmo' for decades and, on his first Territory tour, Les was startled to find folkies in Alice and Darwin turning his recitation of it into a chorus piece by joining in with gusto. If he had recited 'Quasimodo', he would have had a similar experience with nasal noises! I'm looking forward very much to his return appearance - he is a very clever and funny man.

Regards, Stewie.
