Could anyone put me right on the second verse of RTs song? The ?'s are what the words sound like but don't quite make sense.

Cho.
Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands, don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
They don't mend with sticky tape and glue
Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands, don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
That's my very best advice to you

v2
Army(?) precious I don't mind
78s are hard to find
You just can't get the shellac since the war
This one's about toner(?) bran(?)
Finest label in the land
They don't make them like that any more

Regards Baz.

Good song!

Cheers Noreen, There's a pint "in the pump" for you (sorry, it's a guy thing) if ever you're down my way (Nottingham Uk).

'Tis not just a guy thing, bradfordian! I'll take you up on that pint at the Yorkshire gathering- and look forward to hearing you play some of Sir Richard's stuff.

Jimmy Shand was a pre-eminent Scottish accordion player. He played Scottish Dance music; you know, jigs, reels, strathspeys,schottiches, waltzes. He had many LPs produced of his lively music. I bought one in 1979 when I was in London. As near as I can tell, he was well-loved by his fans who apreciated that style of music, a sort of Scottish Lawrence Welk.
