Dale;

Yes , I found the papers. Didn't amount to much as there were no other songs. The words of Rosalie the Prairie Flower were on a well-worn song sheet, 6 x 9, which due to it's poor condition I did not copy. It did show that the song was known and likely sung here in the early 1860s.

Yes, I was able to play the mdi finally, after a long session over preferences. The song is a good one. We will likely record it on Volume 2 of our Frontier series, Songs from the BC Goldrush years.

Tubb's site is great. I find it very useful and he is doing a great service to old music.

Cheers

Richard
