I’ve a CD (Radio Sweetheart No. 1; ASV CDAJA 5282) which has five songs on it which aren’t in your list. One of them is My Handy Man, which you have on YouTube, and its follow-up which you don’t seem to have. I’m wondering if this is supposed to be a complete listing of Elsie’s work or just your favourites.
It’s a list of the songs I’ve actually written articles about. I’m preparing a discography of her 342 recordings; expect to see it here in coming weeks.
Peter,
