Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Barney
I've just received the full score midi from Artful. It's a hell of a tune and nothing like a Music Hall tune. Like a minor version of Rosin the Bow. The Arthur French/Chas White song is obviously based on 'Send Back My Barney to Me'. Going by the stock number, Hopwood & Crew 795 I'd say it dates it to 1864-5.
Artful, do you fancy comparing the White tune with the other 3?
