Jack Pleasants - I'm Shy
Mary Ellen, I'm Shy (CDR29)
Bradford born Jack Pleasants, billed as "The Bashful Limit" played the
part of the gentle fool. On this CD, his two most famous songs - I'm
shy Mary Ellen, I'm shy, and I'm Twenty One today sit alongside other
gems such as Watching the Trains Come In. Much loved in Lancashire and
around the Northern Halls, Jack had a wide repertoire of songs which
are represented here.
