Title John Watson
Description This file name:
20180808JW-metadata
Session name: SP-20180808JW

Thursday 9 August 2018, ca 8:30am-10am.

Playing recordings of and talking about the Laka songs with John Watson at Jarlmadangah, WA, out the front of his house. Two of his grand-daughters, and Marlan (?) who is married to one fo them, and baby great-granddaughter, were also there. Discussion primarily in English.

No recordings made (I didnt think it appropriate to even ask, as there has just been a podcast 'wrong skin' come out that doesn't paint J Watson in a favourable light).

One photo taken with iphone by his granddaughter: MMT1-20180808JW-IMG01(20180808.JPG)
