Subject: RE: Life in the Old Dog Yet (Wrighton)
Hi Rob Yes, it's quite Cliftonesque. He might have written something like this had he lived long enough to grow grey. Wrighton, like Clifton, was more parlour than Music Hall, and his other pieces were also rather up-market. Some of his stuff turns up in later folk collections and I've heard it sung on the folk scene.
