G'day Bugsy,

One of things I would really do if I suddenly had control of millions would be to help fund this film. (Definitely unlikely ... me ever having millions, that is!)

As far as I can see, I was the first one to publish Ted's song The Drover's Boy. It won the Bush Music Club New Song and Tune category back in the '80s and I had one of the Club members transcribe it from the concert tape ... published it in the Club Magazine Mulga Wire. I did not see it in print anywhere else for a year or two - and the when I did, it appeared to be based on our transcription.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
