[SEL] OT........bush fires in Australia

[James Moran]

DC-
 Fascinating that a Brit is familiar with  this piece.  The Keelaghan rendition closes with a riff from  "Shenandoah"...do you know that piece as well?
 I have found that  there is a high level of interest and awareness of American folk music  in England, particularly that of Texas and the South West.
 "Cold  Missouri Water" is a moving piece and, if those interested would take  the time to do so, a good listen would be a worthwhile  experience.  Thanks for the download offer.

If anyone wants a MP3 of "Cold Missouri Water" & is on broadband I will try to send it to you.
