Thanks for sub. Theres only a very few musicians who have kept this tradition on.

I posted this on the wall of a friend whose birthday it is today. It is one of the only versions of the song about a boy - you could hardly post Dean's version for a birthday boy....

It is typical of music of the time, when I was a toddler. Totally evocative of the late 1930s by a great set of musicians. I love her no frills voice - at local dancehalls like mine bands had similar male and female singers who sat at the side of the stage waiting for their own songs. Sweet music.

This is actually Tommy and his Dixieland "subsidiary", the "Clambake Seven", with Edythe on the vocal, recorded on September 29, 1938. The song was originally featured in the Warner Bros. musical "Going Places".
