About 3pm they played a vintage record of "My Grandfather's Clock" They identified it as being written by Henry Clay Work, recorded on Oct. 10, 1933, performed by baritone Harold Williams, accompanied by the BBC Men's Chorus& Ernest Lesch[sic] on piano, and...........produced by David Lennick. So then, Professor Lennick, the usual inquiries: from what collection is this track derived, what label did you produce it for, is it still available, when did you do this transfer? Really delicious rendition of this old chestnut, even though I grew up with the Frank Krumit version on Victor.
