19. Singabout, Volume 1(1), Summer 1956 - Editorial ... Our folk song literature is rich in songs about shearers, bullock-drivers, stockmen and drovers, and after being almost forgotten for half a century, they are beginning to enjoy a popularity approaching that which they must have enjoyed in the 90s. These songs about the men who built our country came into being when development was centred about the rural industries, and the interior was still being opened up for farming and grazing. We are no longer a nation of shearers and drovers. The majority of workers are now employed in industry, and that us where we must look for our new kind of song - the modern Australian folk song - the industrial ballad. Miners, seamen and wharfies have already shown themselves capable of producing songs that reflect the reality of their lives and work. Soon we hope to print songs by truck-drivers, riggers, fitters, bricklayers and carpenters, and you, our readers, are the people we expect to provide them.
