Seek "Mad Dogs And Englishmen" Piano Roll
By Bruce Grimes

I am looking for good copy, nicely played, of "Mad Dogs And Englishmen".

Bruce Grimes

 [   "Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun --
 [    The Japanese don't care to, the Chinese wouldn't dare to!"
 [
 [ At http://www.sabrizain.demon.co.uk/malaya/coward.htm :
 [
 [   "This tongue-in-cheek lampoon of the British colonial mentality
 [ was written in 1932 by perhaps Britain's finest wit, composer and
 [ theatrical bon-vivant, Noël Coward. ...  He certainly did not seem
 [ to have had a lot of respect for the people sent to administer this
 [ particular corner of British Empire, once quipping that Malaya was
 [ a "first-rate country for second-rate people."
