G'day again Conrad,

I reckon there's a quite bit of ocean ... and a not inconsiderable patch of land ... between Sydney, Australia and Clumbia, Maryland - definitely too much to traverse between now and tomorrow night!

I might retract a fair percentage of the slur on you Yanks ... my annoyance is at the Australian group that wants to make preemptive claim on a band name that became virtually in public domain in the 1950s, with the number of "Bush Bands" modelling themselves on The Bushwhackers Band - and calling themselves "The (wherever) Bushwhackers".

Anyway, have fun ... massed didges and brass ... Hmmmm ...!

Regards,

Bob Bolton
