Subject: RE: Need tradl Australian songs for women
Can't really help other than to check out Priscilla Herdman's CD's..was it the Drover's sweetheart that said Jack's dog thank God it's Jack..I never thought I'd faint before he's coming down the track..I think those are among the best lines every written in a song...She put beautiful tunes to Henry Lawson poems like that.

Also, could someone think about writing a song about the Devery Hotel near Ayres rock I think. They were an interesting and well respected couple from King's COunty Ireland (I think he was at least)...I have some sort of news article..had a huge family, ran this hotel, helped out all the wandering workers...

They could be my distant relatives..not sure...was it Alice Springs perhaps? Anyway, she died of a horrible cooking accident. mg
