Help with Bing Crosby Lyrics - Walt's Daughter - 11-13-2009 Hi Marion,
My wife just passed your website link to me. Wow! What a wonderful gift you have given to those of us who remember and love these songs. Also to those, like us, who still play and sing them. I can tell it's going to be a top-of-my-list favorite. And a resource I will really enjoy visiting and using.
When I have some free time I will try to send you a few of your missing lyrics. I have a practically photographic memory for most songs written before 1965. And quite a few written afterwards, although when melodies and harmonics changed (for the worse) and I couldn't "hear" a tune or its chords to play by ear, the songs didn't stick in place.
By some chance, do you have or can you find a song recorded (I believe) by Bing Crosby and Evelyn Knight called "How It Lies, How It Lies, How It Lies"? It's from the 40s but I think it was post WW2. I've been trying to find the recording for years and years. It's one of the songs I play on my tenor banjo. (I mostly play piano, sometimes professionally though mostly for my own pleasure, but have figured out 5 or 6 other instruments.) If you can get your hands on it, perhaps you could add it to your play-list. And let me know!
Thanks again for your wonderful website and for all the marvelous music on it. Stephen
