  • ... love the photos and music together. Thanks for posting ... so fun!

  • Henry Hall the best fab thanks for the posting.

  • Excellent! Thank you for uploading; very classy indeed.

  • Lovely jazzy foxtrot, and charming period photos that convey the essence of London.

    And as a Jewish mother would say: Schreib, schreib, mein Kind! and good luck!

  • Love The Henry Hall Orchestra. Pictures are excellent. Amazingly one of the boys looking at the two 'toffs' from Eton (1.44)is the father of one of my childhood friends.

  • The late Humphrey Lyttleton, greatest of all British jazz trumpeters, was an Eton schoolboy before WW2 and his father was a master there.

  • Charming version of a song my mother used to sing when I was a wee one. Loved the pics, esp. the Elephant ande Castle. Just returned from beautiful, warm Iceland. The blue lagoons are worth the whole trip.

  • Super, I love the simple rhyming tune done in such a classy way by this top notch orchestra!! 5*

  • Swingin' tune from a great band. Probably one of the best. Hall was a perfectionist and it showed. Have you ever heard of The Six Swingers? I think there were actually 7. Anyway, they played in different bands of the period but recorded as a group. Best version of Your Mother's Son in Law ever recorded. Even better then Benny Goodman version, and I'm a BG FANatic!

    Enjoy the pix of London. I'm not certain it's civilized anymore. Alas.

  • Great rendition!

    I'm almost certain that the vocalist is George Elrick - a wee Scotsman from Aberdeen.

    Thanks for sharing.

  • Corrie, you're right, you can hear George Elrick's Scots accent clearly - you guys north of the border never lose it!

  • SMASHING! Love the song! Love your photos of London! Love those Darling Eton boys who later became Oxford and Cambridge MEN!

  • Oh dear! One of the famous record of Henry Hall. The very first time I ever heard it. And it sounds to a dream to me. Thank you very much indeed.

  • This is really lovely.
