Hello again Joy and all of you other nice people who are trying to help me.
My Uncle says this ...
The big drum had nothing on it in the form of a name.
The scene painted on it was done by Mr Kirk, a blacksmith on Dandenong Rd near Clayton Rd on the North side. It was a scene of a country house with a stream running by. We had a globe in it that intermittently flashed , the paint on the window was thin and appeared to have someone inside turning the light on and off. The painting was done approx 70 years ago.
So if any friends recognise this description then we might be on our way to finding out more about this band.
And as for the song ...
I would really love to know what it was my dad was singing.
regards
Julie
