The slide also mentions Geo, who is the third individual in the image, I suspect this is George Gwero, who also worked alongside Crowe and Uli on The Oral Traditions Project. Recordings either made by/of Jeffrey Uli and George Gwero are in the VKS2 collection. (In the VKS2 collection Jeffery is referred to by both his shortened surname and full surname ‘Jeffery Uli Meruana’). PC1-36-12 the spelling of ‘late’ may also be ‘lafe’. PC1-36-15 PC1-36-17 The handwriting on the slides is somewhat indecipherable here, other interpreted spellings could be Monelonko or even Uineloko. Crowe has mentioned the slit gongs pictured in PC1-36-19 in past academic articles. PC1-36-20 is damaged meaning the some of the writing is missing from the slide, the gap in the description above is due to this damage. Notes by Lachlan Thompson, 22.06.2023.
