Dear Bill,
I almost missed your request in the flood of 'lurker' emails.

"Mah Lindy Lou" was composed by Lily Strickland (born 28 Jan 1897) in  
1920.
I have a version on LP, recorded by singer Ivan Harold Browning and  
pianist Eubie Blake in 1971.
My research also turned up numerous other recordings ("My Lindy Lou"  
and "Lindy Lou") including Noble Sissle, Joe Howard, Rose Murphy, the  
Pickens Sisters, Jimmy Rowles, Barbara Lee (with Keith Ingham), Paul  
Robeson and Burl Ives.
I have also found a similar internet query from a Mr Jim Walsh.
Is this your friend?
If so, he has already located most of the information (including  
lyrics), that I can provide.
Before I duplicate most of it, and to save my research time, can you  
please let me know if is indeed him?
Very kind regards,
Bill.
