Excellent, Fodda. Love these. Are you familiar with Leroy Shield who did the music for Hal Roach (Laurel and Hardy, Little Rascals et al). I have a CD somewhere of a modern group from Holland, named the Beau Hunks(after a Laurel/Hardy movie), they recreate in high fidelity the original music of Roy Shield. Worth a look.....err listen.
Ps spent 10 years in Bronx NY, parochial schools in the 50’s-60’s... hence the ‘Fodda’

Lots of great music from a century ago. If you’re a fan you can’t go wrong with Dismue’s Virtual Talking Machine or Radio Dismuke. He also does a four hour live broadcast every New Year’s Eve and a few 6 hour marathons every year.
