Hey, Will & Alan! Nice to see both of you in this thread. All we need now is for Alison to pop in and we can have a Rosbif party.

Alan, I still have the cassettes of the Rosbif band that you sent me here somewhere, but the problem is more that I don't have a cassette player now, and the cassettes might have gone bung** too.

Did the CD's ever eventuate or are you chasing up vinyl editions of the Rosbif album? I checked Roots Records yesterday and they still have a few LP's for sale. I got a nifty convert-your-vinyl-to-digital player for my birthday a couple of years ago, so I should probably just order the vinyl record.

Will, this is the second YouTube video I have seen of yours this week. The first one I ever saw of yours was your beautiful version of the Montalbano 2 theme last week, so imagine my surprise seeing you playing Rosbif Waltz with Alan Day!!

gillymor, you are now - or soon will be - a member of the Rosbif Waltz fanclub. Life will never be quite the same again. LOL I can scan a copy of the sheet music for you if you want.


** As an aside, I thought I had better explain the useful Aussie term: "gone bung"

Also from the Brisbane region comes the word bung meaning broken. A failed piece of equipment might be described as having bunged up or referred to as "on the bung" or "gone bung". Bung is also used to describe an individual who is pretending to be hurt; such individual is said to be "bunging it on". However, at the same time, the word bung can also be used to describe someone who actually is injured, as in "he's still got a bung leg".
