G'day Spaw,

Denis's site is quite good on the subject ... we have agreed to differ over interpretation of the bars that Christina MacPherson did not have adding up correctly (5/4 instead of 4/4) ... and Denis fell out with his old co-researcher Magoffin when he started to investigate just why the MacPherson girls remembered Paterson as "A bit of a cad ...".

I've always reckoned Waltzing Matilda was good for at least two separate fights in any venue ... without even getting around to singing it.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
