Greetings Bob, Very good to hear from you. Unfortunately I don't now have the notes I made at the time of recording. I can't even remember the man's name. But I do recall that it was in 1968, not 'early 1960's' as I quoted in my other posting. My bloke was elderly, but perhaps not quite as old as I thought at the time, me being in my 30's then. My guess is that he would be around 65
The song was written by Samuel Bagnal, 1836 - 1655. In 1904 it was recorded by the Haydn Quartet, in Philadelphia, for the Victor label. The Haydn(pronounced 'Hayden') Quartet was a popular group of the time, singing in what we might now call 'Barbershop style.' II hope this is of some use to you.All the bes, ROY
