G'day Mutt(ley),

Yeah ... I'm sure there's some gratuitous backing on the recorded versions - I just have the strong imprint of the first time I heard Sayonara Nakamura ... just standing in a group round Ted at Jamberoo (Illawarra Folk Festival). I couldn't find it in any of the Ted Egan books that came to hand last night, but I do think I've seen a printed version ... somewhere!

At least Margret has come up with chords for Hey Rain!. I know that groups I've worked with have done full treatments of that - but my favourite is probably Dave de Hugard singing it to just a quiet drone from the accordion bass.

Regards,

Bob
