I used to own the record mentioned by Hrothgar but it got lost during a burglary in the mid70s.

The Oz folk scene in the late 60s was infested with foreign accents (many faux) and most of those who used them (even some for whom they were 'native') employed them mercilessly to enhance their reputation for authenticity. This often led to the song's words and theme being unnecessarily obscured.

William Clauson was one of a few male singers (Dennis Gibbons was another) of folksong whose clarity of diction inspired me to aim at the same clarity in my singing. Even though my accent is rather "Oz" I think I succeeded.

I too would like to know what he's been doing in the last 40 years or so.

Cheers, Rowan
