I'm 73 so don't remember the war. But I grew up in east London and every Saturday night I used to hear all these songs with my old nan on the piano

Whimsical classic from far off days which though no doubt harder were I am sure better in many ways.

You could go a dozen lollypops and shout for more.

"That's where Evie was a lady"... Great lyric. I've bought many records from Sidney Sacrborough in Hull (ref:record sleeve)

[@WhisperedDreams951]

Rock on!

What does it mean? 'where Evie was a lady' ...never understood that line.

@@user-xv9yc4wb2x hit song from 1932, _Eadie Was A Lady._

They don't compose, write, arrange, sing or play them like this anymore. We have allowed all the great songs from yesteryear to drift into oblivion and replaced them with primitive sounds masqueraded as music. - junk.

mostly computerized rot in 2024 ! it is not music today, it is a mockery ! we need songs like this one that are wholesome !
