Hi again, Does anyone remember the following old songs - * The last time I saw Henry * Row, Row, Row * By the sea * Minnie the Mermaid. If anyone can, I'll tell you all a little secret.

No, Dave, I don't, apart from Row, Row, Row. It reminds me, however, that I have a Victorian Music box complete with 18 zinc discs, mostly 12 inch, that play Victorian ballads. One has to turn a handle to operate it and there is also a 'tremulo' choice! "The Miner's Dream of Home" is one of my favourites. Another is called " 'e dunno oo e are" and I was delighted to find, in a box of old music, the words to this very song. It also had the answer to it, " 'e's found out oo 'e are!" "I'll take you home again, Kathleen" is also in among the discs. I'm a retired opera singer (so is my husband) and I always root around in boxes of old music at boot fairs and so on. I have found some with the most beautiful covers and in excellent condition. We also have a Pianola with four hundred rolls a lot of which are 1920's dance music and brass band music. Haven't got around to trying them all, they need too much pedal-pushing! If someone can help me with the words of "The Children's Home" I would be very grateful. Somewhere I have the music but cannot find it. My 97 year old aunt loves to sing it at her retirement home but she can't remember all of the words. It starts "They played in their beautiful garden, the children of high degree" and goes on about a poor begger child looking through the railings at them. The usual Victorian sob story! My grandfather sang in the choir at St Etheldreda's in Ely Place, Holborn for 50 years. He was also a member of "The Mohawk Minstrels" Anybody ever heard of them? Every Sunday the family, all 11 of them, would gather round the piano and sing the old ballads. "The lost Chord" & "The Blind Organist" etc. Those were the days! Best wishes and thanks for your hard work..........
