Subject: RE: BS: Reinforcing respectful 'boundaries'
One topic that has intrigued me, is The Songs of Percy French. And the Percy French question that has burned in my brain for decades, is: Did Percy
French really write Abdul Abulbul Amir? I mean, how could a man with a name like Percy, write a song like THAT???
Yes, we have a DTStudy thread on the song, but I'm still not satisfied that we have conclusive evidence that Percy was the songwriter.

Another burning question that has not been thoroughly explored: how is Francis James Child tied to the song titled One Meat Ball?
