Subject: RE: Lonnie Donegan
I used to have one of those old compilation records that used to be put out by Pickwick or K-Tel back in the early seventies when I was about ten and I played the hell out of My Old Man's a Dustman. I thought it was one of the funniest things I'd heard, it wasn't until later that I began to search out other stuff by Mr. Donegan that I discovered that he didn't just write funny stuff. I just hope that someday he will receive the accolades that he really deserves and recognition for what he actually did for music ( and still does). though his actings a bit dodgy. ( I remember him in Call me MR. and Bergerac)
