G'day,Percustard: "... I reckon Waltzing Matilda was actually based on ..." Not bad - I've just heard that the new Trad & Now folk magazine (about to be launched) has asked Dave de Hugard to write up his ideas on the origins of Waltzing Matilda ... That should be good for a new Swedish origins theory at the very least!
Gargoyle: I got your e-mail ... I will send you the music files, but I've been trying to unearth the references you requested ... somewhere in my book files (about 2985 more to look through!). I will get back to you.
