"I remember Leonard Teale coming to Winton for an Arts Council show. After the show we invited Leonard and the audience over to the Winton Club. In the Couse of conversation in asked Leonard if he would record some of our local Winton Bronze Swagman poets, and he readily agreed. Some months later a alrge master tape arrived and we sent this on to Pioneer Country Sounds and we produced some tapes. This has turned into CD's today. Leonard Teale's handwriting was classic copperplate! I hope you enjoy the CD today as we who heard it 40 years ago still do." Jeff Close. Hon Bronze Swagman Co-ordinator.
