Subject: RE: Chords for the Oyster Girl
G'day all,

I was going to come back and say that I went home muttering about the tune in DT (too many bars (clearly transcibed by a guitarist!) ... and not either of the tunes I know) and my darling wife reminded me that I had a good version on a Brian Peters CD.

Sure enough - a good version ... and another (good) tune!

Anyway, in the maentime, Brian himself tells you so ... well, he doesn't tell you how good he is, sso there is some value to my posting! I must work at Brian's version ... very little relationship to the (presumably dance tune) versions I already know. I'll go mad working on this one ... the basic tune is a fine robust tune and not too hard, but all those lovely things Brian does in between verses!!!

BTW: Brian - when will we see you back in the Antipodes? If they offer you another gig at the Australian National Folk Festival, with a master class beforehand, I will be first in line for tickets. I did not know what I was missing by not attending the last one, a couple of years back.

Your treatment of button accordion is mind-boggling!

Regards,

Bob Bolton
