Thread Name: Lyr Req: Scrubbing the Miners' Clothes
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Scrubbing the Miners' Clothes
I worked with John Warner in the production of the Pithead in the Fern album (out of print) - and heard Dawn Berg singing The Miner's Washin' at a Zoom session a few weeks ago. John is an exceptional songwriter and I've got the authoritative version of the words of most of his output between 1993-2013.
I've got this "lockdown" project to record John's previously unrecorded output, but haven't got far. John now lives in Murrumbateman and grandparenting and woodwork are priorities at the moment. Contact me for queries about John's songs: margaretwalters2@gmail.com - I'll pass those I can't handle on to him. Thanks Gerry and Brian for your input.
PS Gerry - Wlaters is an interesting anagram for Walters, but I prefer Wastrel...
