Kevin Burke, my compliments to you on your interesting and informative website about the song "Rum and Coca Cola". I've bookmarked that site and intend to visit it often.

I took the advice that you gave in your home page and began by reading the "Rum And Coca Cola Trail" page. I found your well documented account of the history of that song and the plagiarism trail to be fascinating. And I smiled at this ending portion:

"In 1973 MCA Records (MCA had bought out Decca) released a double album of the Andrews Sisters' greatest hits. On side one, band four is the greatest of their greatest, "Rum and Coca-Cola". One wishes that the singing group had still been together at that point to add one more verse. It would have gone like this:

"When Morey sang at the USO,
The soldiers really loved the show.
But when he stole Invader's song,
The Yankee judge say he was wrong.
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola . . ."

I'm wondering if you intend to add some related pages about the history and lyrics to songs of other early calypsonians like Attila The Hun and Radio. That would be great since it's difficult to find online and offline information {particularly anecdotal information} about early Calysonians and lyrics to their songs.

Best wishes to you and your website!
