Hello, Joybell and all. Yes, Dad sang 'Ballyjamesduff' to lullaby the children as he rowed them to the Island. He told a great story about being accosted on a London street by a well-dressed gentleman : " You're Noel Purcell, arent you?" Da: 'Yes, Buncer" Man: 'Well, you gave me a lot of trouble!" Da: 'How could I, we've never met before" Man: It was my job to dub you into the Spanish version of the Blue Lagoon, but we couldnt translate Ballyjamesduff!" So there was Noel in the movie, 'talking' 20 to the dozen in Spanish, until: 'De garden of Eden has......." which stayed in English. Dad said later - " I never knew I spoke Spanish!"
