Thanks Padre. Dad used to have it on a 78 and yes, it was Freddy Martin.

Cheers!

Ahhhh, was going to say the song was very popular in USA immediately after WWII ... but you tipped it of by mentioning Freddy Martin, an American Big Band.
I think it was so popular here because of its ebullience ...It was sung in a sort of mock-Cockney accent...and it seemed to be so typical if the indomitable English spirit when war ended. We used to pile into my uncle's convertable and off we'd go singing at the top of our lungs!

Cap K comments: my memory's hard drive is a couple of bad clusters shy of the manufacturer's specs ...

Are you suggesting that you have fewer bad clusters than the manufacturer's design calls for?

The man can boast all he likes! You too, for that matter,
Sweetie.
