What delightful songs and choruses I heard in those days! At the village pub where my father used to call on a Saturday night, I have heard him sing song after song. I also heard him sing them at home, and when he lived with us as he did for the last few years before he died, he has delighted my children and many a visitor by singing, amongst others, Dan Bedford Leno’s song :— “Give me the spade and the man that can use it, I think I have heard that the famous Drury Lane comedian, Dan Leno, was a son of the writer of the noted song “Give me the Spade.” |
