This photo ALWAYS cracks me up becuase the mustache's on Bill Kenny and Charlie Fuqua are drawn on! The original photo they dont have mustaches but I think later in the early to mid 40's they used this press photo with the drawn on mustaches. This isn't the best example but when you look at this photo up close you can tell. Thanks for sharing by the way!
Missed a lot of your recent posts (been busy) but couldn't miss this one. You pulled great sound of that disc!
Made me idly wonder when a record first featured a spoken verse for effect like this record does in the middle verse? Offhand, I can't think of one from the cylinder era; but it's certainly continued to be a pop muisc feature over the decades...
@ThePeaceableKingdom It's great to hear from you again, I've really missed your comments! You have posed a very interesting question. I don't know the answer, but the earliest recording I can think of, in my collection, with a spoken middle section is "I'm All Alone in A Palace of Stone" by Annette Hanshaw, which is from around 1927.
One of my favorites. A jewel of music history. The Ink Spots were a marvel. Thanks for posting.
