H:"Collecting from Arthur Foster was akin to watching a magician pulling rabbits H:out of a hat. Almost every other item was a surprise. When he announced H:'Home Sweet Home' I expected the usual mournful rendition, but instead he H:played an arrangement that must have poor Sir Henry Bishop spinning in his grave. H:'Home Sweet Home' arranged by bushman Alec Broadis as a lively schottische. H:Never before had I realised that the old tune contained passages that sounded H:like 'Waltzing' Matilda' and others like excerpts from 'The Drovers dream'".
