well done Charlady yet another ace piece of reporting.
Most interesting regarding the song Piddling Pete
I heard Gord sing this back in 1968:-
see the set list for Friday May 10th 1968...
Theatre Maisonneuve Place des Arts (Montreal) at:-

and I had always assumed that it was an old song but now I wonder
google research does not help:-

Bill's Blog claims it for an Australian ditty
"PETE, THE PIDDLING PUP.
A poem in ten piddles and a puddle by I. P. Standing
1949 Gunnedah Intermediate High School, NSW, Australia"
but a UK site shows the "lyrics" too
http://www.foalfarm.org.uk/poems/pidpete.htm
and the song is apparently on one UK album se:-

and your Mr Newland on his site at:-

reporting on a show in Ottawa back in January said
"while Valdy, resplendent in his red running shoes, performed Piddling Pete."
