G'day GUEST Gerry,

All the Paterson poems now sung started out without tunes ... except the "Waltzing Matilda" ... that he sold off for peanuts because of embarrassment over the events regarding his fitting the words to the fragment of a 'brass band tune' strummed out on Christina McPherson's autoharp.

I certainly remember the Song of Artesian Water as a song for a few decades - certainly within the Bush Music Club.

Regards,

Bob
