When did Monument move to Nashville? I wonder if there was a Fred Foster tie in to the publishing company?<br /><br />Guess they're are more questions than answers on this one.Brucenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220994693817493372.post-30296563324634794992012-03-01T09:09:27.744+01:002012-03-01T09:09:27.744+01:00Usually, the song's publisher lead to useful i...Usually, the song's publisher lead to useful information. But not in this case.<br /><br />Brynmawr, ASCAP (or Bryn Mawr) is the publisher of two Rusty Draper songs released on Mercury and recorded in New-York in 1958/1959. <br /><br />- Gamblin’ Gal (wr. R.D. Farrell & Harry Dupree)<br />- Don’t Forget Your Shoes (wr ?, ASCAP database not very useful...) <br /><br />Arranger for the New-York sessions is Clyde Otis. <br /><br />My guess is that R.D. Farrell is probably an alias for Rusty (Draper) Farrell. <br /><br />Writer -and pianist- Harry Dupree (aka Harry Dapeer) biggest hit (english lyrics from a portuguese song) was "Lisbon Antiqua" (Nelson Riddle Orchestra, 1955). He was a member of Associated Musicians of Greater New York (AFM local 802). <br /><br />But the trail stops there for now. I can't find any other records issued on Totsy or any other songs published by Bryn Mawr.<br /><br />BTW, Bryn Mawr (pronounced /ˌbrɪnˈmɑːr/ from Welsh for "big hill") is also the name of a Pennsylvania town.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06396174436667598286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220994693817493372.post-58717061723807736792012-02-29T06:01:05.424+01:002012-02-29T06:01:05.424+01:00Interesting story and a great cut.
