		George is so smart and sweet and big (surprise!) He is walking well on a leash now and totally crate trained (a brilliant suggestion - he sometimes just wants to run to our bedroom to his "den.") He is pretty much always with one of us and is the talk of the neighborhood.

		In the music-halls of the 1860s, a rivalry erupts between the singers George Leybourne and The Great Vance, which leads to a battle of drinking songs.
		The rivalry is initially played out on the boards; Saunders, under the stage name George Leybourne, and Vance up the stakes with each new song, starting with ones about beer before rapidly moving through gin, wine, rum, brandy, sherry and finally champagne.
		The feud, which culminates in an incompetent duel with pistols, is finally forgotten when the theatre owners try to have the music halls shut down as disorderly houses.

		Tommy Trinder played George Leybourne, a popular performer of the day, and Stanley Holloway his rival, the Great Vance.
		The rivals unite and succeed in satisfying the inspectors that there is nothing wrong with the robust music-hall tradition, which becomes established as part of the folk culture of the time.
		While the Leybourne - Vance feud had its basis in fact, the film was not entirely accurate in its portrayal of the mid-Victorian halls, which were really large ale houses - it was only later in the nineteenth century that the variety theatres emerged, with greater respectability.

		The idea of the "heavy swell who knew how to " go on the spree was not invented until a mechanic from the Midlands came to London, gained a hearing and became a star.
		That was George Leybourne, who quickly won a year's engagement at the Canterbury at twenty-five pounds a week, which gave him a taste for champagne.

		Attempts have been made at revival in Britain, both in the 1930s and more recently with "The Good Old Days" which has been something of a pastiche.
		Unfortunately, sound recording came too late for most of very first generation of artists, for example George Leybourne.
		However, at the turn of the 19th/20th century a number of survivors such as Dan Leno, as well as younger artists, started to make recordings.

		His success and notoriety caused two things: Leotards became a new word for tights, and a man named George Leybourne wrote a popular music hall song in 1867, The Flying Trapeze.
		Leybourne (1842-1884) originated for London music halls the role of Champagne Charlie, a high-rolling "swell" who was seen only in the most fashionable places.
		However, Leybourne’s song Lounging in the Aq failed to work the same magic for the word Aquarium.

		He wowed Parisian audiences in 1859 with the first-ever trapeze performance, although his skin-tight pants could be held responsible for the crowd's adulation.
		Lyricist George Leybourne honored Léotard's triumph by penning "The Man on the Flying Trapeze" in 1868: "He flies through the air with the greatest of ease, the daring young man on the flying trapeze...." Leybourne probably found it easier to rhyme "ease" with "trapeze" rather than "leotard," Monsieur Jules's other famous invention.
		Tito Gaona, a modern aerial hero, grabbed the audience's attention when, in 1964, he was the first to complete a triple somersault before reaching a catcher.

		In retrospect, this was an apt term: although there was no safety net during the performance, Léotard had developed his act while practicing on trapezes suspended over a swimming pool.
		Léotard was the inspiration for the song "The Flying Trapeze," written by George Leybourne in 1868.
		Although I've seen at least half a dozen different versions of the lyrics, the chorus goes approximately like this:

		Jocular strings and a brief brass fanfare launch the work, followed by taut, terse violins.
		The sparkling Thunderbirds theme is also momentarily heard, as is a fragment of George Leybourne's classic music-hall number "The Flying Trapeze." A jot of jeopardy is introduced in the final few seconds, but on the whole the tune is high-spirited and deliciously humorous.
		Lengthy source cues such as "Ballroom Jazz" and "Dinner Aboard Skyship 1" are pleasant surprises too, providing relaxing arrangements, with "Parker Inspects Skyship 1/Thunderbirds Are Go!/TB2 Unloads Tiger Moth" supplying a few moderately frantic and, for fans of the TV series, familiar musical moments.
