The last I knew he was living at Maldon (or nearby) in Maldon.

So if somebody can help me with the chords, it would be most appreciated.<br />And tinnitus doesn't impair making banjo sing. <br />Regards,<br /><br />Greg White - Casterton Vic (Stumpy Gully Bush Band)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285972952988060123.post-33686756132540849582012-05-10T19:01:24.111+10:002012-05-10T19:01:24.111+10:00Thanks so much for this download.

I too remember it fondly but ony have my ageing cassette copy (of the scratchy original) to listen to. I have lived with, and treasured, Dave De Hugard’s versions of these songs for so long. No other renditions seem to do them justice. <br /><br />EdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285972952988060123.post-85045732029363720892012-05-04T12:42:04.597+10:002012-05-04T12:42:04.597+10:00I have treasured this recording for over 40 years ...I have treasured this recording for over 40 years and still regularly return to listen my vinyl copy with great pleasure.

It is a quality presentation with a full colour study on the front of the sleeve and with informative notes and first-rate photographs on the back of the sleeve. This attention to presentation detail gives added historical relevance to the enthusiast and ultimately to the researcher. This album will find a place in any current collection and in the future will be valued as an artefact of the Australian Folk Revival...' <br /><br />Dermott Ryder <br />Folk Odyssey – The MagazineDermott Ryderhttp://folkodyssy-themagazine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285972952988060123.post-54107663747067067152009-10-22T22:00:06.590+11:002009-10-22T22:00:06.590+11:00And It's north west be west. over ranges afar,...And It's north west be west. over ranges afar, to the plains where the cattle and the sheep stations are, and it's scarecly a comrade me memory reveals, though the spirit still tingles in me toe and me heelsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285972952988060123.post-89639804283870788002009-10-22T21:54:42.533+11:002009-10-22T21:54:42.533+11:00Well the tent poles are rotten and me blankets are...Well the tent poles are rotten and me blankets are are damp and the fast rising floodwaters flow down through the camp.
