G'day again,

I see that Richard Bridge came in with another version while I was off scanning pages. I don't think that there is any definitive version, even if we stick to Ted's performances. The song is felt so personally that it comes out differently every time. That is why I was so vague about the 'wailed' refrain ... its length and shape seem different every time I hear it.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
