Merinda Jane joins us to teach us some NEW TUNES! From Cape Barren! We talk about the history of the tunes and and her experiences growing up and learning them. we also speak to Palawa man Cody Summers about his experiences with Cape Barren music and growing up indigenous during a very racist time in Tasmania's modern culture. Cape Barren tunes hold a very special place in the Tassie folk canon, being tunes developed by the indigenous communities up on the island and have a flavor all of their own that's fun, rollicking and invite participation. Songs we play in this episode are: The Black Cat Piddled in the White Cat's Eye; Little Burnt Potato (The Cape Barren Jig); The Cape Barren Washerwoman; The Muttonbirders' Jig; Uncle Affie's Tap; Old Clog.

In this, the penultimate episode of season 1, Emily travels to the far east to record at CC's house for a change in Rokeby, on the other side of Hobart. Violins prove science is WRONG! We play tunes by the convict Laing, also a song from 2009 about a bouncy cat, as well as have a crack at two of Marjorie Gadd's tunes. We also play CC's tune entry for the Folk Federation Comp. It might not have been the best the podcast we'd done that day, but it was still pretty good. Songs are: Betsy Blinkworth at Newtown Van Diemans Land Norah's Waltz A Cat Called May Hemiolas on Holiday Queenstown Rains
