Subject: RE: Lyr Req: to an australian song
G'day All,

I reckon that Callie's preferences are very like mine. (I am reviewing a re-release to CD of one of John Warner's older collections The Sea and The Soil as well as his Yarri song cycle in the next issue of Mulga Wire.

I published the first book of John Dengate's song and verse (My Shout back in (~?) 1984 and enjoyed his performance at The Loaded DogThe Fagans (senior, at least) were in the audience and Us Not them are on in a concert later this month.

I guess that Give me a home amongst the gumtrees is not as bad as it could be (I used to introduce it, when we were into "potboilers" as "A plea for tradional elements among Australian native gardens - Give me a gnome amonst the gum trees ... Er well ...) Anyway, have a look at this horror that appeared on a recent thread (now, we hope, slowly sinking in Sydney Harbour. (and Callie referred it towards me!)

My 1st Blue Clicky!
