I hope Leo is still going strong, good luck to him and all his family.

Just for the record, I feel bound to point out that the song he is singing is NOT "Phil the Fluter's Ball" ...

[ilovemaniototo]

Hello There, yes Leo is still going strong. We have always called it Phil the fluters ball could you please correct me will be pleased if you do. Carol x

[murrmac]

The song Leo is singing is called "The Pride of Tipperary".

I am indebted to Emma B and Guest Murphy from the Mudcat forum for this information.
