G'day Mick,

I forgot to get back with this songlist from the three Eric Bogle songbooks that I have. I had scanned in the three contents lists ... formatted each as a table and added references to the individual books ... combined all the tables in to one ... re-sorted to pick up the duplications ... stripped the table and HTMLed it for posting ... then forgot to send it!

(What was it they said abou the 3 best things about Alzheimer's ...)

Anyway, the three books indicated are:

LM80: The Eric Bogle Songbook, Larrikin Music, Sydney, 1980.

MS84: The Eric Bogle Songbook, Music Sales, Sydney, London & New York, 1984 (?).

MS88: Something of Value , Music Sales, Sydney, London & New York, 1988.

If any of these songs are of interest (and not in your new book), I can scan them in (1 bit GIF, at 300 dpi) and send them to a private e-mail advised to my PM. This gives a pretty good print on any standard laser or bubblejet - and the individual files are only around 60 kb, so they don't overload the system.

I should see the wee lad about the Australian festival scene as we head into the more comfortable weather of Autumn. If he complains of this ... well, he should get out a better supply of his song books!

Regards,

Bob Bolton
