The song my mother Jean remembered from when she met my father Ted at Weybourne Anti Aircraft Army Camp in North Norfolk in July 1951...there is now a flowering cherry tree and display board at the Muckkleburgh Collection military museum there in their memory....and a little tribute vid on my page....Thankyou so much.

Fine rendition; but why do American opera singers singing an American popular song sound as if they were trying to convince their audience that they were born in continental Europe.
