Dear John Warner

I have learned Anderson's Coast from hearing it sung by Nancy Kerr and James Fagan.   I think it is a beautiful tune and a good story. On their cover they say how it is a true story and that the convicts led the explorer/botanist to safety and were pardoned.

When singing the song out with acknowledgement to you of course (in an entirely amateur capacity at folk clubs, singarounds etc) I would like to add an extra verse which I have written which tells of how they were saved, with the chorus changed to Annie dear please wait for me, I pardoned now I'll return to thee ....

Do you mind if I do this?

Best wishes
