My dad was a great singer - he was in a jazz band while he was in the army (1934 - 46) and learned lots of songs, some of which he passed on to me. These included,

It's a Long way to Tipperary
Pack up your Troubles
Take Me Back to Dear Old Blighty
I've Got Sixpence

...all of which were marching songs he learned as a soldier. Then there were the jazz songs, four of which he actually recorded on 78s in the 50s while he was courting my mother. These were

You Gotta Have Heart
The Nearness of You
When I Fall in Love
Out of Town

...and I sing the first three of these now. In fact I'm recording a couple of them on my current CD!

He died a few years ago. I don't miss him - he was a grumpy old bastard but a good singer! Bit like me really.
