Music

What ho!  I do hope I've got this all sorted out, this time, but my little brain is not used to such herculean (if that's the word I want) tasks.  Let me know if any links or bad, or if you happen to know what happened to song #17, or how all the different songs labeled "Ask Dad, etc" are supposed to work.  I'm sure I've got some of them mislabeled. 

Hugh Laurie singing "Nagasaki" is quite delightful to me.  :)

ETA: To actually ADD the link I was referring to in this post! (told you my brain isn't up to this...)

Oh wow, you're ace! Especially now the Hat Sharpening Shop (http://www.hatsharpening.com/j&w/cd.php) has taken down the files from the offical soundtrack CD.

BTW, I do have a track labelled '17 - The Daily Grind' from the old HSS days. Can't really remember what it is, now - just a short instrumental, I think. If you want to comment with your email addy here and then quickly delete it, I'll send it to you.

My email is on my profile - and thank you. :)

Smashing! Thank you so much!

(#10 won't download by the way - v. sorry)

I couldn't get number 10 either, which is sad because it's so funny. "ho dee ho dee ho dee ho, sir."

[tabula-x-rasa.livejournal.com]

You are made of awesome.

I'm grabbing most of these and will probably be back for all of them.

Thank you so much!

*Although Track 10 seems like it didn't upload correctly.

*And I see everyone's already mentioned No. 10 so never mind, la la la.

THANK YOU! Made my day, especially since I've had "Nagasaki" stuck in my head for some time now.

[jenisnape.livejournal.com]

Ohh thank you so much :D

[derien.livejournal.com]

Eep! Okay, I'll look into that. Maybe not right this minute, but it's on my list of things to do.

Ask Dad

[chikkiboo.livejournal.com]

Ask Dad was the musical that was being put on in New York involving some guy that Wooster was told to look after and not let get into Broadway. The first "Ask Dad" song is the titular track from the play, being practiced at home by Bertie with the reluctant help of Jeeves, the second is a full-cast rehearsal, and the final one is the actual on-stage finished production of the second song.

I'm sorry if this is stuff you already knew, but you asked about it...?

And thank you so much for posting this.

On a tangent, does anyone have any recommendations for getting "real" recordings of 1920s music?

Also, "Oh By Jingo" is cracking me the hell up. I've got it on repeat.
"Hello, Jeeves - that bit where it goes daaa-da diddy diddy da da mmpop mmpop - oh, it sends shivers down my spine, Jeeves."
"Well, perhaps if you were to put your jacket on, you'd feel the cold less keenly, sir."

[amaya-kumiko.livejournal.com]

Umm yes. You know the love for you that I have? It has expanded to become infinite. Yes, i love you so much, that there is no measurement for it. :D Thanks for doing this, its AWESOME!

Re: Ask Dad

[derien.livejournal.com]

Yeah, most of that was stuff I knew. :) But, the confusing thing to me is that one of the songs named "Ask Dad" in the collection I have doesn't sound like the same song at all. I renamed it "Ask Dad Opening - Just In Love."

*chortles!*

[derien.livejournal.com]

Well, to be perfectly honest, no - I hadn't realized that you had love for me before. But that's okay. ;)

[furius.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you so much.

"Minnie the Moocher" is cracking me up, no wonder Jeeves wear that odd expression whenever he plays..

[xjestx.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU!

Although my co-workers probably won't thank you when I go around humming 47 Ginger-Headed Sailors ;)

Seriously though, I truly appreciate it.

[maubast.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[derien.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was going around humming that while I was making dinner last night. What do you do when you get to "heave-ho me hearty?" He doesn't really sing it, so it's hard to hum, and I get stuck.

[amaya-kumiko.livejournal.com]

I hadn't told you? huh. Well at least you know now. That's all that matters. :D

[pandonkey.livejournal.com]

These are wonderful--thank you so much for sharing them! Now I can feed my urge to listen to "47 Ginger-Headed Sailors" whenever the mood strikes (for good or ill). ;)
