G'day Robin (Foolestroupe),

The (Allens ... ?) Community Songbooks - red & blue - were certainly popular. I'm sure there were a lot of items directly lifted from overseas sources "affiliated" with the Australian publisher.

I didn't get around to lifting the Alan Scott collected version last night ... too much organising to get my Monday Night Session mob together to play for a dance in 3 weeks! (And I'm trying to get my hear around all the music for the Bush Music Club Heritage Ball in less than a fortnight!). I will dig out Alan's item tonight (XX/ \XX) ... and I find the Community Songbooks - to see what they have to say about sources.

One copy, now in my collection, is from my Dad (who drew on it extensively when he helped put together the first Australian Scout Song Book) ... and the other belonged to Patricia's Grandfather - for singaround songs after Choir practice at St John's C of E, New Town, Tasmania.

Regards,

Bob
