G'day bradfordian,

Joe will need to "sign up" before he can access you via PM. (Joe: it's quick, simple and free ... we'd love to have your input on the 'Cat!) I could get a copy to him, via near neighbour Chris Kempster ... along with some other versions if he is interested.

I might put on the 'transcribing' hat and see how the dots for all four versions compare. It seems to me that the innate rhythms of the poem itself suggest a lot of the tune (this happens with henry Lawson's poems too - probably with any good poem!) and I'd like to quantify the effect.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
