Subject: RE: Seeking: Harry Lauder music album
And you know what else is odd?
A thread is at the Mudcat forum,
within the past twelve months if memory serves,
from somebody with the opposite problem.

Remember? Somebody, I forget who,
really really wanted to locate that particular recording of
"I Love a Lassie" which is so notorious that there are passages in
English-language fiction -- for example, P. G. Wodehouse --
that celebrate the moment in which Harry Lauder speaks the lines:

"This is herrrrr       --

naw, it's a RABBIT."

And a bunch of us faithful Mudcat member truffle-hunters
went digging and snuffling about,
and we found recording after recording of
Harry Lauder singing "I Love a Lassie"
but we could not locate, try as we might,
a digital file online
with that famous spoken line.
