Phillip Sear plays his piano cover of an unpublished song from 1945 by the Australian pianist and songwriter Ernie Davidson. ------------------------------------------------------- I'm indebted to the composer's daughter for information on his musical career. He was an Australian songwriting pioneer, and composed the music for more than 300 songs between 1945 and 1995. He composed the music for the first ‘all Australian’ song that was reviewed and listed by American Billboard on 31 January 1948. This was his first song (written when he was 25), and I have worked from a lead sheet. On the basis of recordings I have heard he was a brilliant pianist (somewhat in the style of Billy Mayerl), but my version is relatively restrained! This romantic song is about an English boy saying farewell to a French girl he met on a Spring holiday in Paris.
