Jon HancockDepression made an unwelcome return chez Hancock recently, kicking off its shoes and generally making itself comfortable. Not entirely unexpected, I guess, as the ill health retirement process rumbles slowly on.
This morning saw a very welcome surprise mood lifter raise its head, however, as one of my rolling eBay searches turned up a hit for an obscure Cliff Edwards record, a song that only seems to have appeared once, on the B–side of a Disneyland single. Fingers crossed that it arrives intact.
It's almost exactly a year since I halted my Cliff Edwards Project, an attempt to write up ukulele songsheets for everything Cliff ever recorded, so this will be a good reason to take another look at it. There are still a few obscure tracks I could buy but can't afford (a job lot of 16" transcription discs sent from North America just for a couple of songs isn't practical), but in general it's very uncommon for these things to pop up.
