Not old, but not young, old enough to sound like he might know the experience of the song's subject matter (though I'm not assuming it was autobiographical). That's why I mistakenly had Harvey Andrews in mind. I realise now that Mr Andrews was probably only 31 or so at that time - not old but a wee bit older than some of the other 'contemporary' songwriters of the time. This all sounds a bit silly, but in my mind the singer was at least 40! No attacks please!

Heck, Judith, nothing silly about that. We're now looking for a male UK singer, possibly deceased. However, because of that dating we now know he was born near 1935, give or take a few years. And that will certainly narrow things down a bit in terms of who the songwriter may have been. Thank you.

NB I am not ready to assume the singer and writer(s) of the song are or aren't the same person.

I should have also remembered that the blickies for Mudcat threads always double up on "mudcat.org" for some reason.

if the http:// protocol is left off usually. Other omissions are available.

I did offer JavaScript lines to Max to add to a blickifier that would check/correct for this, I never got a response. Nowadays you have to check for https:// as well. Maybe that is what needs updating. In which case defaulting to correct with http:// would work IME. & www. usually can be omitted (also because subdomains confuse the issue).

I post this often to remind peeps to think. Particularly now the URL field (aka box) of browsers acts as a search engine &/or appends the missing protocol.

I did do a bit of digging, also in the context of Harvey Andrews, and gave up after probably 2 hours. Is this a known cerebral phenomenon? 2 hours search limit?

Hello, Mr Red.

Can't say I understood any of the tech stuff, but regarding Harvey Andrews, I FaceBooked him and he confirmed that he didn't write or sing the song I asked about, so we are still at square one!

Techie stuff is just to make it easier for others to follow. If it is blue and can be clicked, we often call it a blickie and we can make them on threads in this parish. But there are ways to get it wrong, and it helps to alert people if trying.

There are a few song lyrics out there that mention grand piano** but none that seem to include keep and kids, maybe you have to advance to deeper pages of search results, and play with words that might say the same thing like children instead of kids.



**there are a few other fillips we can play with, if you know yer website stuff. (:-}
