Long before Rap and singers named Puff Daddy, there was Donald Peers. In those long gone days singers had signature tunes. 'In A Shady Nook' must have been the most well known song of the time. Most people of that certain age will still know all of the words. I wonder if my daughter in fifty years time, will be humming to the tune of 'I'm Gonna Slap My Woman Down'?
