GUEST,George Frampton Origins: Dover pub landlord's songs (7) RE: Origins: Dover pub landlord's songs 08 Oct 12


Sorry Joe. This is a project I've been working on for an article to be published on the Musical Traditions website about the Life and Songs of George Spicer (q.v.) who lived near Dover in Kent, England between 1928 and 1935.
One of the hostelries he frequented was The Rose Inn, whose landlord sang the song in question. My previous queries from similar threadbare clues (e.g. the butcher and naked lady who turned out to be a murderess) bore fruit, as did a query about a song which I had as 'The Irish Lass' but was found on the Oxford University |Bodleian website by a correspondent.
Two great countries separated by a common language, eh?!
