    John: sorry I'll have to look it up on you tube. I wanted to illustrate a piece in tomorrow's post on the Crash of 1929 when that song was all the rage. Before your time dear. I think it was something Miller

    My mother was born in October 1929. Not an auspicious beginning, I guess.

    Off topic: Please note this Google search.

    Cheers.

    I wondered if that would be the tune before I clicked it!

    I think it was famously also sung by Bing Crosby although maybe it was called 'Buddy can you spare a dime?'

    Your guy is a UK TV actor named Lionel Wheeler.

    related to the economic crisis of that time? I thought around 1929 the main problem were speculants though... it shouldn't be that bad this time round (I hope).

    wlldm: yes that's right. It''s really to go with the next post which I'll try to do before I go to bed. If we ever learn from history it should not be so bad this time around
