This is one of the great novelty pieces of the late 1800's. �There was an English hotel owned and operated by two brothers whose last name was Jenkins. �The lobby housed an upright "grandfather's clock." �The clock kept perfect time for many years until one of the brothers died. �After his death, it lost time at a diminishing rate although local clockmakers attempted over and over to repair it. �Then the other brother died. �At that point the clock stopped, "never to go again" (as phrased in the song). �The story goes that in 1875, Henry Clay Work visited the hotel and based his song on the stories he heard about the clock. �Andy Gaus has done a terrific job of setting this well known piece for mid-level singers with special consideration given to their changing voices.
