GUEST,Nick Dow Lyr Req: A Suit of Corduroy's (9) RE: Lyr Req: A Suit of Corduroy's 16 Jan 16

Bill House sang me this in 1985. The recording is on the British Library site. He learned it face to face from 'Old Charl' as he called him. 'He was a right old songster' He was amazed when I produced the Charlie Wills LP for him. Bill also sang 'Household Remedies.'
Surprisingly Frances Collinson appears to have collected the song in the 'London' pub in Bridport in 1947. I reckon Charlie was the singer, Collinson did not bother to record his name.
I was young an not so wise in those days. How much do I wish I had asked more questions than I did.
