Jump to navigationJump to searchGeorge Bond provided details of some of the Australian tunes in this archive, as recorded in the John Meredith Collection.
"George Bond was born in 1904 and lived for most of his life in the Bega district. In his younger days he was a dairy farmer; he lost his farm during the depression, then took up sleeper cutting for the next five years. ... George played his accordion with a good dance tempo, although with a rather heavy bass." -- J Meredith, R Covell, P Brown, Folk Songs of Australia Vol 2, UNSW Press, 1987, p55-6.
