Thankyou Bill, my Harmony CD is still working beautifully. !!!

Thankyou geo Steve, I would also be interested to hear what your Metallurgist friend has to say on the topic. The words hidden in GL songs are certainly something which adds to the poetry of the man and his music.

Termonology used in the mining industry particularly gold mining is very similar in Australia and Canada, and is mostly based on US miners who followed the gold rushes around the world in the 1800's. One of the most notable being the former US President, Hubert Hoover, who worked for a number of years in Australia as a mining Engineer.

All the best keep smiling
Ron.
