G'day Burl,

Would you have any 'dating' for your informant's "... dances in his youth ..."? Since the song was a long time favourite waltz tune - out here in Australia - I can well imagine it being just as popular in Britain ... just on its musical merits.

In (Colonial) Australia, it had the additional grabber of being a nostalgic memory of London (either home ... or departure point ... for many of those who came freely to Australia - lured by the chance of gold.

Regards,

Bob
