"I think my money would be on a broadside writer who either had previously been a sailor or convict"
Baed on what Richard - is it so difficult to concede that it might - just have been made by a country singer
Unless, of course, you can come up with examples of broadside makers who were former convicits or transportees
I wish I could shake off the feeling that some people don't want the country singers to have made their songs - even though some people have conceded (or paid lip service to the fact that they were able to do so
What is it that makes the 'art' of the broadside writer so special?
