Lloyd's notes to _Blow Boys Blow_ say Howard from "South Wales," UK, not New South Wales, Australia. OTOH, "South Australia" was supposed to enable him to "die happy." Yet the village of Barry in *New* South Wales (named in 1890, evidently) has fewer than 300 inhabitants (acc. to Wikipedia, that is).

Given what we've discovered about Lloyd's fudging of sources, do we have any corroboration that "Ted Howard of Barry" was a real person?

Re Nancy Blair: Lloyd's stanzas about "up and down" and "all night and...all day" are comparable to those found in the bawdy song, "Three German Officers." Probably not a coincidence, but the significance is unknown.
