G'day fogie,

This is published in the book 5 of SONGS OF SYDNEY CARTER, In the present tense, 1982, Stainer & Bell, Ltd. Already having bought books 1 - 4 in 1972, I bought this one from Stainer & Bell's web site last year.

S & B are very keen to stop Sydney's songs appearing publicly - claiming this protects his rights ... but they are pursuing a totally false claim over the tune to Lord of the Dance, which Sydney openly admits he borrowed! I think it better for Sydney that his songs are freely aavailable and so are not recorded as "trad." or "anon." ... but Sydney is not able to defend his free attitude to the songs any more.

If you want the dots, PM me and I'll send an image of them - given in "G" in the book. (You could buy the book ... but you'll need your reading glasses for the words ... S & B have printed them in 5 point .. about insurance policy "fine print" size!)

Regards,

Bob Bolton
