[David Lennick]

Here's the "Uncle" version of Happy Birthday by ol' Hairy..

Must have been several versions recorded, all backed with Auld Lang Syne. And 
maybe there really was a Harry Tush in the music business?
"Harry Tush... is credited with co-writing the song "Oh! You La! La!" (with Lew 
Brown and Ed Moran) in 1918"
