I was hoping to find the Kiwi Blues requested on the radio by the Thames High School girls of 1944 but maybe it has a different name or is not listed here - so if anyone else can provide a link or some info on it that would be greatly appreciated.

Fantastic little story

Sandra saw her Dad's photo on my blog in a school photo some time ago. She contacted me as she and her family were really excited, their Dad had died and they did not have any photos of him as a little boy so she asked could I get copies of the original for them. Unfortunately after I had scanned the photos and blogged them, I had returned them to my mum. Very recently my mum found the photos and I had them copied and sent to Sandra. Unbeknown and unplanned these photos arrived in Sandra's mailbox the very day her Dad would have turned 85 years old. What a thrill for all of us!
