In response to Great Critique posted by brisbaneartist:


Stephen - I too love to divine the origins of songs - I recently reaearched the origin of The Raggle Taggle gypsies Oh - just because I had to know - I was curious.
My daughter is 15 and a singer - she hopes to study at Westminster Uni - Trinity - Song and composition - I will have fun debating with her about Waltzing Matilda and passing on to her Voice Tutor.
I also researched Folk Song origin in our area of the moors only to find a famous song collector had visited here and taken down some songs! (Baring-Gould was his name!)
Songs are a potted history/sociology of populations (so many articles....so little time......)
Thanks again
(Matilda what if any is connection with the queen Matilda of England?
