Subject: RE: Req/ADD: Give Me a Home Among the Gum Trees
Rowan, OK. Well it's so nice to meet you again. I was actually a good dancer too. It was dancing with boys that was a problem. Scary! I did dance with some though at those same socials. It would have been in about 1958. I used to be able to do the tangoette. Because I was tall I always had to be the "boy" at Primary School - Hutton Street State - so I can't help trying to lead. Probably why I prefer set dances now. When I was in my thirties I fell in love with my banjo teacher - American - Hildebrand - he used to play at the Green Man and various other venues around Melbourne- sometimes with Greg O'Leary. Married Hildebrand and eventually moved to Western Victoria. If you ever come this way please visit. Oh, and I was in the same class as Johnny Chester's sister at High school. Isn't Mudcat grand?
Cheers, Joy
