[78-L] Shakespeare references in songs

[David Weiner]

Bob Crosby' did a Decca 78 set titled SHAKESPEARE IN SWING
Al Bowlly did two Shakespeare songs with Ken Snakehips Johnson''s West
Indian Orchestra in 1940. Supposedly, performing Shakespeare songs was
considered to be bad luck; both Bowlly and Johnson could testify to that!
