Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Several Music Hall and WWI Songs
I suggest that anyone interested in old English Music Hall songs should google Ian Whitcomb. He has written books on that music (and Tin Pan Alley) and even has familial connection to it, I believe. Additionally, he had a radio program wherein he often play George Formby, Stanley Holloway qnd the other greats of Music Hall. Whitycomb pergorms these songs, mostly around the Los Angeles area. Lastly, it was he who chose the music for "Titanic", "Cat's Meow" and some other movies.
Damn, I should be his press agent!
