G'day again Mark,

OOPS! I left a bit of your posting undeleted when I was working through answering points.

Incidentally, I used a picture of you and Alison Cone in DEcember issue of Mulga Wire - you looking very hard-worked behind a mountain of drums and a didgeridu while Alison sings happily to a microphone. If you didn't see it, I may have it at Snalbans 2000.

I also meant to caution that, if the Craigielea/Waltzing Matilda MIDI on Alan's site is from Dennis O'Keefe's recordings, the interpretation is abit suspect. Christina's manuscript copy has a number of flaws, mostly uneven bar lengths and I had David Johnson do a fairly careful analysis from two different manuscripts for the ABC's 1988 program on Waltzing Matilda. Denis's version (which may not have the benifit of all these resources) doesn't work quite as well and has some dubious bars.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
