G'day Kat,

You will note that I have posted the full affair for this poem / song to a new LYR ADD: thread These words, the tune as a MIDItext, some notes and the full length original poem (just on 3 times as long as the song!).

As regards the Chinese New Year parade, it will probably only get coverage on SBS (Special Broadcasting Service), which has a muli-ethnic focus missing on all other channels. I will hope someone videotapes the news, just in case.

The only other coverage likely will be in one or other of the Chinese language newspapers ... Sydney has been getting pretty blasé about parades and celebrations lately ... and it looks as if the Chinese New Year parade got quietly shifted back to the day AFTER Australia Day so as not to take the shine off the big one!

Regard(les)s,

Bob Bolton
