Christopher Robin and blind man Templeton??

As children in the late-40s or early-50s we played 78s of Christopher Robin tunes and I vaguely remember the performer was a blind man who, I think, played the piano and sang. Memorable among the songs were They're Changing Guard at Buckingham Palace and Christopher Robin is Saying his Prayers. The performer may have been someone Templeton. Hope I've not presumed too much posting to this ng but where else> Thanks to whomever may help flesh out this thread.

Of the top of my head, there was a blind pianist called Alec Templeton - I think he was Welsh - who wrote popular piano pieces in the 1930s. He is best known for a piece called Bach Goes to Town - a sort of prelude and fugue (more like a prelude and three-part invention). This piece was played and recorded in a big-band version by Benny Goodman.

He is best sort of prelude and fugue (more piece was played and recorded in Alec Templeton [1909-1963] also committed a 'Pocket Sonata' for clarinet and piano, jazzy and pop-lyrical in a 1935ish way, which was recorded by Reginald Kell. He was a well-liked radio personality in the USA.

The BG version of Bach Goes to Town is on Napster. Great fun.
