G'day Susanne .. yet again,

This time I'll get the spelling right (I must have a an overactive, automatic s to z correction, when writing to Americans!).

Here are the MIDI/ABC files for the two Ballad of Ben Hall tunes described in my 17 August posting above:

Both tunes are as published in The Penguin Australian Song Book (~ 1964) and probably Martyn's source. The first tune (BALL-BH1) is basically that used by Martyn. There are some differences, particularly in the second line ... but what the heck, that's the folk process! Work out your own version and get credit for originality.
