sorry about that - new computer, and it is very trigger-happy.

As I was trying to say say, some of the NZ mining songs are original aren't they?

My choir sings Hoaere Mai - in Maori, no less. We had a NZ woman who sang with us for a while and she talked us through the words. We have sung it with NZ people in the audience and they liked it.

Cheers
