G'day lamarca,

Yeah ... you go nag Dick to front up with a few copies of the CD ... it is really worth it! (You may need to re-tune your ears to Scots ... but it's nae sa braid as some aroon t' Mudcat ... pace, LJC ... and a lot easier for us non-Scots to understand than, say, Dick Gaughin.)

Marion Henderson's contribution, particularly in Whaling Wife and Norfolk Island Whalers really lifts things too, with her fine voice contrasting with Harry's earthy tones ... and fine Scots tunes.

I'll sound out the Mathiesons about the progress and content of the later album they are pushing for, from the NLA.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
