Tickety's Tip Top Tunes
This Tip Top tune is one of the most recent to be added to
the TicketyBoo collection.
I was initially attracted by the cracking graphics, and
decided to buy it without even knowing the tune! I’m glad I bought it though,
as it’s extremely pretty.
Let me know what you think, as my opinions on music can differ
greatly from those of you who are more normal! ; )

So to the sheet….
And to the tune…
I chose Jack Payne's version, as I always like his arrangements….
Or rather, I like his musical arrangements! Actually, I'll have to find out who did them as I would quite like to know....
much love as always
and keep those feet a tapping

yep - love it! I really love Jack Payne. Have you heard "On Her Doorstep Last Night"? My absolute favourite of Jack's is Down Sunnyside Lane.
ReplyDeleteps: I'm probably not the person to ask being also obsessed with 1930s and 40s music
I can see why you liked the graphics, they're adorable. Nice tune, I could imagine being at a dance with this playing. One of my favourites is Al Bowlly, especially singing "The Very Thought Of You" which I could play until the grooves wore out and never tire of it. I remember my granny singing Sunnyside Lane to the dog, who used to howl along!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly!
DeleteI’ll have to see if I have any Al Bowlly sheet music, but I’m not sure that I have- anyway, I’ll have a look and if I have (?) it will be next weeks edition!

What a charming tune. I don't think I've heard it before today, but will definitely have to play it for my step-dad now, as he grew up on a Saskatchewan farm and I know he chewed plenty of straw in his day.

I love the song and the illustration!
ReplyDeleteI was born may1939 as a child I was one day chalking on the pavement singing( Chewing a piece of Straw) a tune I must have heard on the wireless when a work- worn looking woman passing by remarked "If things carry on like this son, that`s all we will be chewing" .I remember thinking even at that tender age ,what a witty remark that was .Terrence
