G'day Kristi, first my humble apology. I try to acknowledge each songwriter who replies to my comments and somehow I didn't here. I never for a moment thought you would write about bad people's doings.I thank you for explaining your bonzer song's meaning to a dumb Aussie Bloke. "interpretation" of one's words is always a chore for me. As I travelled around this vast continent of Australia and from one state to another I am always thinking twice on different person's words for some words mean one thing in their homestate and have a very different meaning in another and it was even worse when I tried to speak to Chinese people as I learned just a few words and the phonetics of their language convey much and many different messages from one to another and I confess is not understood by me at all. Sorry I digress. Secondly, I want to thank your for your kind words and suggestion for the last line of "Count Ten" and which I now co-write with Stan Good. best wishes, Ray down under.
