Sam - thanks for the info. I love the song & have Mike Harding's version (on the 1999 National Folk festival Highlights CD).

I also have (temporarily) several of Bob Bolton's copies of Penny Post Newsletter of the NZ Folklore Society. He lent thenm to me as they refer to Phil Garland's collecting trips in 1969 Phil was coming to my club on his Australian tour. Unfortunately Phil had to cancel as come venue operators cancelled him. Phooey, I was really looking forward to meeting him & hearing him again. Maybe next year?
