mkebenn, Yes "those were the days". My own particular dozen or so 1952/3 song titles never managed to frighten anyone in Tin Pan Alley as I had hoped they would on my return. It must have been something then that I needed just to pass the time whilst away from home because in all the years since then I have not tried once to compose anything similar. I do still have my exercise book complete with lyrics which I occasionally read through to sometimes give myself a good laugh - and a cringe! "but they were happy days".
