Fred Holland "had a good repertoire of bush dance tunes, which he has passed on to five of his six sons. The five who are musically minded are all talented performers on button accordion and mouth organs ... These two men were the best accordion players of the younger generation John Meredith met on his field trips; they had a quite characteristic style, a smooth sweeping one in perfect tempo for old-time dancing." -- J Meredith, H Anderson, Folk Songs of Australia Vol 1, UNSW Press, 1967, p227, 230.
