Hi Joe,

The thread about this song is closed, but I have some source information to add so, because the message on the thread says to contact you, I thought I'd just send it to you and let you add it without opening the thread, if your magic extends to that functionality.

I happened to be researching "Troubador Song" this morning, because my sister Frieda is coming to the Getaway with me and she wants us to sing it with me at one of the evening concerts.

I found that its composer is Louis Pippa, and that it comes from the play The Dreaming Of Aloysius (1928), according to
http://lyricsplayground.com/alpha/songs/t/troubadoursong.shtml. (This is one of those annoying lyrics sites that loads spam, by the way.)

Louis Pippa is mentioned at another, earlier-dated, noncommercial site as the songwriter -- see http://blog.seniorennet.be/oldies_lyrics_scrapbook/archief.php?ID=784286 -- so that's some indication that the lyricsplayground info may be correct despite the dubious quality of the site.

Sadly, I can find nothing at all about that play.

See you at the Getaway, I hope!

Cheers,
Claire
