OVER 50 YEARS AGO



The great Billy T James (The Tainui Kid)

"I'm half Scot, half Maori. One half wants to get pissed
(drunk)
the other doesn't want to pay for it"

Some from well in the past - well they seem to be from a hundred years ago; still I like them

Billy T James - Goodnight everyone - from his TV show. The Entertainer of the Decade in the 80's.

Not one to worry about being 'politically correct' he was the star of the film Came a Hot Friday
as The Tainui Kid.

Winifred Attwell - Big Ben Boogie
John Charles Thomas - Bluebird of happiness
Donald Peers - Dads birthday waltz
Jo Stafford - Ragtime cowboy Joe
Johnny Standly - Its in the book
Rudy Valee - The stein song
Richard Tauber - Pedro the fisherman
Bing Crosby, William Bendix, Sir Cedric Hardwicke -Busy doing nothing
Wilfred Pickles-Good luck good health god bless you
Joseph Locke - Blaze away - in the 'good old days' of State Radio I think they played this every morning at about 10 to 8 to remind the kids to leave for school as it was a marching song played over speakers into the playground that we marched along to. !!! Ahhhhhh.....
