Hi Hazel and Hello to every one,

Now this might date me a little but --- When I was a child I listened to
this song many a time. My mother played it in the morning when we would get
ready for school along with John Phillip Souza.

But the fellow that sang this song below was Harry Lauder. I might have
spelt his last name wrong but I can hear him in my mind like it was just
yesterday singing with his Scottish accent and rolling those r's. Thanks for
bringing back a great memory... This one was back when we still had long
playing record yahoo!
Warm regards
Faith
PS.. Sprong has almost sprang!!! The snow is almost gone and it's well above
zero today with rain.
Have a great day every one!I'm off to sing "Just a wee doc and Doris "
Thanks
Faith
