Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dear Little Jammy Face
My Great Grandmother was called Miss Korrie. She is in the music hall painting called Popularity by Walter Lambert. I know that she sung this song in March 1909 at The Theatre Royal in Plymouth. I have only just got hold of the music and am performing the song this week. My Nan told me that the song was written for her mother (miss Korrie), how true that is I don't know but the lyrics certainly seem to tie in with the family history about her marrying young and having a little boy. From what I have found she certainly appears to be the first person to perform it at a Music Hall. Thats all I can tell you about the song though.
