G'day Chrisj,

I seem to have been neglecting this thread (OK ... Mudcat went into hiding, down in the bottom mud, for 2 days - but that doesn't cover my absence sufficiently.)

You mention a version of Clancy of the Overflow by "The Matildas" ... Would that actually be "Wallis & Matilda" ... a group that had a really successful version of Clancy of the Overflow in the charts (!) about then? I should have my transcription of that tune tucked away in my 1980s band charts ... indeed that was the onre I fancied would be seanmacractan was after ... but I was waiting for confirmation. I guess I should just extract the proverbial digit and commit the tune to MusicTime and thence to MIDI and on to MIDItxt and into the Mudcat realm ... shouldn't I?

BT: I just scanned in my photographs of "Wallis & Matilda, performing at The Australian Folk Festival at Kiama ... about June 1999. They reformed (well, maybe just re-formed ...) for the occasion. (I just realised that the CD of the Illawarra region folk festivals, 1998 to 2001, has 1650 his res scans of my photographs ... about 55 hours scanning work, alone ... I must be mad!)
