If you're including 'cast iron' in your search it might be restricting the 'hits' you get. Cheers |

Sincerely, Gargoyle Very disappointed ... I was expecting this to be about the judge, and city, Vlad will confront soon. |

22 Jul 24 - 07:18 PM (#4205899) Subject: RE: Req: Boxing song-Cast Iron Hague From: cnd Based on all your comments so far, I doubt this is the case, but could it be either Bendigo The Champion by David & Toni Arthur or Champion Jack by the Strawbs? Two of the very few British boxing songs I've heard. Otherwise, no dice. |
