domenico Lyr Req: I'm Ninety-Four This Mornin' (Will Fyffe) (29) RE: Help: Very Old Scottish Singer/Comedian 24 Aug 99

I'm glad I can entertain, Ewan... :)

Hey, as answer number 2 to the original query, I figure it was a fairy decent guess... :)~

BTW, I only know his (sometimes painful) Scottish recordings. Was that a "character" of his, and did he do traditionally "English" material as well, in perhaps a less broguish manner?

Understand, my repetoire comes from a pretty dogeared set of vinyl and old songbooks that I was able to borrow from a USC musicologist, so I have a pretty narrow range of resources.... ever hear of "The City Waites", circa '60, Hurdy-Gurdy and fiddle, lots 'o catches, such as "Yellow Hose", and "Celia was learning the spinet to play". Fun stuff when the Clancy Brothers wear thin... :)
