Harry "30,000 Punds of Bananas" Chapin obviously heard this record.

Great upload!

I never thought of that, but he might have listened to this for his own song ideas...Friends, Lloyd.

Anyone know who his sidemen were?

@lorintim

Not much info. on 78, but this blurb may give at least a hint? Pee Wee Hunt was the co-founder and trombonist with the Casa Loma Orchestra, but he left group in 43 to work as a Hollywood radio DJ before joining the Merchant Marine near the end of World War II. He returned to the West Coast music scene in 46. His "12 Street Rag" was a number one hit in Sept. 48. He was satirized as Pee Wee Runt and his All-Flea Dixieland Band in Tex Avery's animated MGM cartoon...friends, Lloyd.

Thank you Richard, the 78 is in really good shape, and I could not turn it down at 25 cents from yard sale!!...friends, Lloyd.

I didn't know that Pee Wee Hunt sounded like this, I always assumed that he was Country!

@bluenazz

In the 1930's to very early 1950's, he seemed to dabble quite extensively in rag-time/jazz/ big band style music - He is also vocal on Glen Gray's - "Dixieland Band" from 1935, which I added a while back...friends, Lloyd.

Recorded in May 1950, and originally released on Capitol 1091.

@fromthesidelines

Thank you again for helping with date info. I did get the year correct, and figured it was at least very close to 1950.
