G'day all,

Mark: Clancy has been put to music by almost everyone who has read it and also sings! I have a couple of different tunes in my songs folder and have mercifully forgotten the rest. I think the best one came from the group Wallis & Matilda (which, in the last incarnation I have observed, is actually two blokes ... but it IS a bloody good name!). I can email you a MIDI of one or two tunes, if you wish.

BTW: The so-called "Bush vs City" debate between Lawson and Paterson has been well documented over the years and it was definitely without any acromony on their part (however it was taken by the readers of The Bulletin). What it did was to sell a good number of extra poems for both poets!

Regards,

Bob Bolton
