Thread Name: The Honest Working Man Explained?
Subject: RE: The Honest Working Man Explained?
I believe that last verse, with all the CB references, I got from the Diane Oxner recording.
Interesting local colour re: Joe Dowie. I was under the impression from a comment I heard once that there was some kind of community festival (presumably in Orangedale) named in honour of this Joe Dowie - did I just misinterpret what I heard? I don't remember this guy's exact words; I just have a vague memory of him chuckling about "Joe Dowie", and whatever he said, in an offhand way, I took to refer to a community festival ...
(Bee: You would want to wait awhile before you made the crossing yourself, after that!).
