"Landlady's Daughter" has been one of my alter egos in the pursuit of housing and neighborhood organizing songs. With "her" help I've been able to collect more than 300 songs.
This project actually began in the mid 1970's and almost reached publication status in 1980 but the publisher backed out. I did help co-publish a recording titled We Won't Move, Folkways Records FS 5287, 1983, which is now available on demand from Smithsonian. I also was able to include 16 of the songs as guest editor of Broadside, #165, August 1985. But the project remained on the back burner for over 30 years.
Now that with the help of Barrie Roberts on this Forum, as subsequently confirmed by the lyricist's son and daughter, we've been able to identify the composer of the title song "Pity the Downtrodden Landlord" for the songbook; that would be Dr. Barnet "Doggie" Woolf, a research scientist as well as a long time member of the Workers Music Association, and the Unity Theatre in London.
I am now selecting about 50 of my favorite songs for self-publication, not an easy process. And I may have some additional questions to pose in this thread about these songs.
