Thread Name: Big Bill Campbell and his Rocky Mountaineers
Subject: RE: Big Bill Campbell and his Rocky Mountaineers
I was brought up in St Albans in Hertfordshire and when I was about four years old (1955ish) I found a music book of "Big Bill Campbell and his Rocky Mountain Rhythm" in my father's piano stool. The piano was second-hand and a collection of sheet music came with it. I could read well by that time and had a look through this book. I found, to great amusement, "Alleluia I'm A Bum" and insisted that my father sang it to me. I thought it wonderful to be able to say Bum without being told off! There must have been about a dozen songs in the book, but the only other one I recall was "Can I Sleep In Your Barn Tonight, Mister"
