For our first #songsheetsaturday of 2025 we have 'La-La-La' (1922) sung by Miss Ella Retford & composed by the UK/US songwriting 'team' of Stanley J Damerell, Robert Hargreaves, Clifford Grey & Nat Ayer. Clifford Grey was born almost #OTD in Birmingham, 5 January 1887 #musichall
For Hogmanay what better than the "Laird of the Halls", Sir Harry Lauder's "Stop Yer Ticklin' Jock!" Look up the lyrics - very saucy!

At this time of year the cry to "give me a cosy little corner" is going up all over. Is the festive season proving too much? Why not take some time out and look up Clarice Mayne? A panto stalwart, she was connected to anyone who was anyone in the #musichall.

The King of the Strand.
Did you know this title applies to a loyal customer of a snob? and did you know that a snob is a shoe mender. Shoe makers are cobblers. Every day's a school day!
cheers!!

As Winter draws in, some mawkish foxtrot nonsense from Talbot O'Farrell for #songsheetsaturday - 'If Winter Comes (Springtime will soon be here)' by Clifford Grey & Melville Gideon in 1922: 'If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?'
How 'Ya Gonna Keep 'Em Down on the Farm? (After They've Seen Paree)' by Dorothy Ward 1919. 'Now that all is peaceful and calm, the boy will soon be back on the farm'. But will he? Paree and 'jazzin' aound Piccadilly' are far more tempting than a rake or a plow! #songsheetsaturday
Annie Adams was born #OTD 1843 in Newport, Isle of Wight. For #songsheetsaturday here's her c. 1868 hit song, 'Popsy Wopsy!' One of the first successful female #MusicHall performers, 'The Queen of Serio-Comic Vocalists.'
Tucker, The Singing Violinist had a mournful hit in 1918 with 'Joan of Arc They Are Calling You' - 'Alsace is sighing, Lorraine is crying, There mother, France looks to you. Her sons at Verdun; Bearing the bur-den, Pray for your coming anew...' #WWI #songsheetsaturday
Minnie Cunningham was keen to share advice on "Friends" in 1895: 'Their kindness never ends, but, false or true, 'twixt me and you, "oh! save me from my friends."

This song has been played continuously since 1871. George Leybourne's hit subsequently became adopted by the "King of the Carnival" at the New Orleans Mardi Gras, where it still plays every year.
