thanks, cnd, Starship & Tony

I appreciate the link to the SMH article& McKenry, we've been looking for that "Top 40" reference for a long time! We have a collection of newspaper clippings, but not this one.

I've added another sticky note to my copy of McKenry

Keith's reference from p.154 is to "A genuine Hit - Our folk songs get an airing", Sydney, Sun-Herald, 15 July 1962, p.73, the Sun-Herald is the Sunday issue of the Sydney Morning Herald, yet newspapers.com says it's page 95.

Showing results 1-1 & I've screen shot the image, which is just the title of the article as I haven't paid for it. 'A Genuine hit' is not part of the title.
