My mother had a 78 called Laughing Ginger Brown, it would be early 20's. The number was HMV002 from memory. Anybody come across it? Same tune as the policeman, I have the words somewhere

I found several references to LAUGHING GINGER BROWN on the Internet. The artist was Uncle Charlie; the other side of the record was THE FARM YARD.

I see that Billy Whitlock is mentioned.
On a CD cover I see that he also used the name William Mitcham.

Does anyone know why he used this alternative name?

I remember listening to Charles Penrose on "Children's Favourites" in the 50s. The Laughing Policeman was always my Dad's party piece at family gatherings, and when he died, we played it at his funeral. At what was a sad occasion, as the coffin disappeared at the Crem, the strains of HaHaHaHa etc seemed very appropriate, and everybody had a smile on their faces as they remembered him with fondness.

What a brilliant way to exit this mortal coil.
