SubscriberI’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food
A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

Just an explanation of "gumboots", Bob
A South African gold miner is trapped in one of the deepest mines in the world. He hopes and prays to hear the sound of his comrades 'gumboots' (Wellington boots) which means that his rescuers have arrived.
Gumboot Dancing is very popular in South Africa. It's roots go back to the early miners who wore Wellington boots because of the wet conditions underground. The tapping and slapping of the boots was often used as a type of communication between the miner's who were discouraged from talking while working by their bosses. Bells are sometimes attached to the boots and dance troops also make use of vocal noises and whistles.

I remember when the miners were trapped at Beaconsfield, TAS., Canadian miners showed solidarity with the Aussies a number of ways, this song was one of them. Bob

Maybe stretching the bow somewhat as the song is a tribute to Will Starr, the Scottish accordianist. His day job involved digging up coal.
Will wrote "The Jacqueline Waltz".
