G'day Betsy,

The Advanced Google search used the exact phrase "Dorman Long" and required the separate words "steel" and "Cleveland". The result was (~) 22,000 'hits'. Changing to either "Dormann" or "Vaughn" both get nil!

"Bolckow" could be roughly from the area where the border has oscillated between Germany and Poland ... according to who won the last stoush (perhaps around the Gdansk / Danzig region, for instance). Vin's pronunciation is a pretty good approximation of the likely 'Polish' one. I would expect the 'real pronunciation' to be: "Boh" (with a suggestion of the terminal sound of the Welsh "ll" ...) - "kow" (with a terminal suggestion of a "v". That is, somewhere between Vin's "Bowkow" and "Bolwkov" ... I presume that the Wilkipedia entry cited uses the commonly accepted (indeed, the commercial records') spellings of the surnames.

I was pretty sure of hearing Coral and Connaught Streets ... Pearl was a bit less definite ... as I was playing an old cassette copy of the LP, since it was too much work to unearth my LP transcription deck (which needs to be plugged into the back of the 'puter).

It's a long time since I heard Vin sing it in the flesh!

Regards,

Bob
