Following the death of Discographer Ralph Venables, his widow Pamela 
kindly gave me a few items from his collection.   One was a twelve inch 
BBC acetate - dated circa 1946 - an excerpt from a live Jack Jackson 
radio broadcast where he presents the young George Shearing, who plays 
'Honky Tonk Train Blues'.

I've no recollection of George ever playing it afterwards.

I've seen footage of  (early) Liberace playing that too! I also remember 
seeing a youngster on a talent show playing it.
