G'day again Landlady's Daughter (and Charley),

I've had a good listen to Mick's tune, via unbiased computer notation ... and the first half of his tune sounds a lot like Yellow Rose of Texas!

What version of Range of the Buffalo do you fit to the words ... the Lomax version seems, to me, to be a very generic "Come All Ye" ... so I guess it can work for almost anything - it certainly did back then! Mick certainly seems to have bent the tune a hell of a lot in his recording. Even without hearing the field tape, I can imagine the degree of variation reqwuired to fit some of thos lines into standard phrase lengths!

Regards,

Bob Bolton
