and lots of 1930s MGM musical ditties

BTW ~ Yes! relation: Louis B Mayer was my 1st cousin 2ce removed, i.e. my paternal grandfather's first cousin. Why surname spelt differently?: why, becoz Americans can't spell, of course!

His nephew Daniel was a dancer who used to come over with Judy Garland's annual visit & we would all meet him for tea at my grandmother's. Next time you see movie of Guys&Dolls, look out for the crapshooter in the sewer in the big green fedora hat ~ that's my (god knows how-manyeth!) cousin Danny Mayer...
