Background
Flotsam and Jetsam were an Anglo-Australian musical comedy duo of the 1920s and 1930s. Hilliam wrote most of their songs, played the piano and sang in a light, high tenor voice. By contrast, McEachern had one of the deepest bass voices on record. Their material consisted of comic songs with rapid-fire delivery and songs with mild social commentary, as well as sentimental songs. They are sometimes considered a precursor of Flanders and Swann.
