I have been looking up the names one stumbles across in Wodehouse novels, and have discovered Marie Lloyd. I think the reason I find her fascinating is that she's right on the cusp of recording and broadcast. This is what popular music was. (She appears as a childhood crush of Bertie's). This means I've been listening to rather a lot of covers of old cockney music hall songs, which are just about the stickiest things imaginable. (Henery the 8th I Am is a music hall song, which makes all the sense in the world). _
