McGrath, you're a miracle. Pretty sure I never heard the Ovaltineys as a kid in NZ in the 40s - NEVER allowed to "Commercial Wireless" - it may have been on here. However, the second site, which it led to......:)

"Happy days are here again" was the theme-song of "Napier Frivolity Players" at that time - learned a few good songs from them!

"Wish me luck as you wave me goodby" - the only "family" photo on my wall is Dad, in bed, ogling Gracie Fields - hasten to add the bed was in Auckland Public Hospital, near the end of the war. One of my earliest childhood memories was visiting him there.

Don't think anything I find on Mudcat will beat that as my earliest blast from the past. Must see if I can find a sound clip of Gracie singing the song.

Thanks, mate - you little bloody ripper!

Cheers - Sam
