Hi kress,

Musical Dawson's Canaries  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkuer0MDbJc) accompanied by a full orchestra are singing "Love's Old Sweet Song" on YouTube. The record was released by Rex Records.
Video no longer available: This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.

One of the Local Studies libraries, and possibly local newspapers, in Yorkshire may have something about him .
