Bert AMBROSE (1897-1971), the bandleader & violinist, in 1927 he was elected musical director of the exclusive Mayfair Hotel at a then record annual fee of £10,000 and whose outfit was by the early 1930s regarded as crème de la crème among British bands. He paid the best money and got the finest players, many of whom went on to become bandleaders themselves. It might be interesting to ponder just how many of the rich and famous clients who danced to Ambrose's sophisticated arrangements were aware that their favourite was the son of an East End rag-and-bone man.

Too many tears, Each night I go to bed, I lay awake and shed Too many tears; Your memory Is bringing me Too many tears. Too many years I wasted loving you, And as you know I was true, Too many years, I cared a lot, What have I got? Too many tears. I know I should have found a new love, And don't you think I didn't try; But I found out a "number two" love Never seems to satisfy. I'll never learn To smile again and sing, I gave you everything; And in return What did you leave for souvenirs? Too many tears.
