What is the oldest song you like?
Some of the folk songs I like go back hundreds of years, but I'm interpreting this as the oldest recording I like
There are a few candidates from Hank Williams, from Louis Armstrong and from Louis Jordan, but I've picked this song as I know I listen to it most frequently
I lived in London for just short of twenty years...and the song provokes nostalgia both for London and for the wartime generation that I grew up with - grannies and grandad, aunts and uncles, and blokes in pubs....I miss them all.
