Well, we're continuing to blaze our trail through the Sydney neighborhoods, searching out places to graze and water, and of course to sing songs. Last night we tracked down the Shannon Hotel remnants at Alex's lovely studio. There were about twenty people there, all fine singers. I was particularly pleased to meet Margaret Walters and John Warner, two members of the nautical singing group "The Roaring Forties." My group Roll & Go has a lot in common with this group which helps explain how quickly we picked up on each other's choruses and "in-jokes." I do believe my chorus for "Dead Dog Cider" has been re-planted in fertile ground. This afternoon at 3 pm we drop in to the Toongabbie Folk Club in Northmead at the Scout Hall in Moxham Park for some holiday songs. Then tomorrow we disappear off the schreen to Cairns for a few days. We will be at the Havana Cafe with the Cairns Folk Club on Wednesday if anyone is within range.

Cheerily,
Charley and Judy
