Peter Dawson sings The Cobbler's Song from Chu Chin Chow by Oscar Asche and Frederic Norton. I have the piano score for this which was given to me with the words that it was once owned by a Pianist that accompanied Dawson. Like to think Dawson may have held the score at one time!

When I was a boy in the 40s I lived next door to Frederic Norton's housekeeper in Ruislip, so got to know the great tunes from Chu Chin Chow including this Peter Dawson record.

"At Santa Barbara" Peter Dawson. 1928by 85scampi626 views
My mother said that my grandfather sang with Peter Dawson on his visits to Southampton.
I played Paul Robeson singing this to an old people's group & we were reminded that cobblers no longer have a place in the community.
In my young days our shoes were always at the cobblers for repair.

@EbenezerIan123 Exactly so - my father could make a pair of leather shoes from start to finish! Cobblers are now called Timpsons in 866 locations!
