G'day Dug,

(I take it, my old mate from "Outback Bush Band" and other places back then?) I'm glad you got a reference site for Champs' songs, because the books I had in mind didn't have this one! I need to buy a few more recent collections.

I should also trust my memory less for spelling: John Gray is right in spelling Jim Haynes. I sat one seat behind Jim and his lady on the 5000-odd-km bus trip to the 1990 Australian Folk festival in Kuranda, Far North Queensland, and back ... a very funny bloke!) The tracks Joh Gray mentions, I have on 12" Vinyl, but I have a few of Jim's CDs: Here I am, 8314072, Kookaburra Music, 1994 (EMI private pressing?) and It's Not Cricket, 7243 5 23535 21, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 1999.

There is probably an ABC site for their recordings (www.abc.gov.au/&c, &c, &c ...?)

Regards,

Bob Bolton
