Esperanto and Popular Music: Welcome contribution!

» David_Poulson - Welcome contribution!

Hi Rik, sorry to be so long in responding to this message.

As always, I'm very pleased to see my short article being considerably enhanced by additional information appearing in the discussion forum.

I have a copy of the Pirates of Penzance recording...a heroic effort, really. I also have a copy of Alberta Casey's LP and, after your remarks, I'm going to go back to it and listen to the words rather than the music!

Last week I received out of the blue a CD from Max Wearing, a South Australian Esperantist. It's called "Herooj kaj Martiroj" and is Max's own compilation and performance of Australian songs and poems about various characters who have made a place for themselves in Australian history - or mythology!

More about this later.
