I can`t say, that I remember these, but, I enjoyed them & recognise them as similar to songs of that period. More examples of his talent, making use of "Verily", which at the time, was probably turning up in the repeats of `50`s dramas, that I was watching. As well as new films, set in that historical period. If you do not mind, I will "Add To" my page. :)
