"Life goes on without me"

One half of a special request from the 1931 Peelenium:Just A Gigolo was written by Leonello Casucci for the 1931 film of the same name http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0021780/ Although I'm not certain if it's Bing's version that features in the film.
It's a great song and I ought to upload versions by Louis Prima and David Lee Roth (maybe later). Both equally entertaining in their own right although I would ultimately have to go with Prima's rendition. In fact anything by Louis Prima is fine by me!
I'm not able to lay my hands on Dona Clara by Leyton & Johnstone, also 1931, just yet Howard but I'll see what I can do through other sources. Perhaps someone reading this has it?

I've been downloading and extracting the lost_boy.rar files parts 1, 2 and 3. However each .rar package seemes to contain the same file. I might be doing something wrong, but Ive tried this a few times already and on different computers. I'm still getting the same file no matter which .rar file I use, part 1, 2 or 3. I'll try again later. Anyway, thanks for the files I can't find them anywhere.
Badabing...I knew a guy that looked just like the Bing. His name was Jimmy D.

What programme are you using to extract the files? It should just automatically combine all three files back together without any prompting.
Hang on, you're not under the impression it's a 3 part series are you? It was only ever a one-0ff special. Therefore 1 file in 3 parts.
I could upload the complete file to rapidshare or sendspace or wherever if you wish? I know how annoying these things can be at times.
Let me know

Got it!!! Yes I did think it was a 3 part series. Now I get it. I didn't realize the rar files were working as a group. Everything worked fine. I was using WinRAR and or unrarX (Mac). Ok, anyway sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks again for the files.

I mentioned it to my Mother and she remembers them well enough. I've yet to play it to her but I'm sure she'll love it.
I'm listening to it now and must add a track to an upcoming Faith Healer mix. The reason I loved Peelie's programmes so much was that he was never a snob regarding music, just sincere. You'd hear all types side-by-side unincumbered by age or genre. Just how it should be. Fascism doesn't belong in art.
Thanks again Howard - great tunes.
