G'day John Gray in Oz / Charley Noble / Sandra i S / &c,
With John Gray's mention of his traumatic introduction to HMAS Melbourne, I'm reminded that local poet / singer-songwriter / gadfly John Dengate dashed off a less-than-respectful song at the time. Rather than trust my (t)rusty grey cells (even if that constitutes the "folk process ... in hyperdrive ...) I'll try to find an ancient cassette of John's actual song ... and drop it into the thread!
