The poster has it as "Phil the Fluters Ball", but it certainly isn't PTFB, although it does sound as though it could have come from the pen of Percy French. |

I had forgotten Willie Brady but I do remember seeing his act in a kind of touring variety concert in the 1950s. His style is quite similar to fine the English 'troubador' Elton Hayes; a contemporary. |
