Subject: RE: Help: Ballerat AU in July
Jenny, Bob, John, et al, Thank you for all of your fun help. We truly can't wait to come to OZ. My Grammy came to America when I was born, her granddad was in the uprising at Eureka Stockade. But he was Scottish. He married an English girl from the family in the next tent. Grammy sang every song she knew to me until she died in 1972. I remember most of them, I don't know if they are original Australian or if they came from the homeland. It is easy to get mixed up when I live this far away. My brothers and I did an album of folk and Sea music in 1991. www.southernbranch.org/Tanners/. I will print out all of the neat sites and news that you shared. I promise to follow up on your leads and enjoy some real Aussie music while in the country. We plan to see family, but we hope to make some new friends as well. Thanks, Heely
