Thanks for keeping the classics alive:) I'm only 26 and I want to hear everything! It's so hard to find stuff like this! Which is absurd especially when we have the tech to preserve it.
Oh - it'a not THAT bad ! It just sounded a little unusual for 78s of the late 20s-early 30s. It's still great to log onto these things whenever I want to forget life in the terrible early 21st century and see what we've all lost - but also what still survives.
I tend to agree with you about the 21st century, but then I realize that at least it provides the technology to recapture, preserve and introduce these gems.
Lee Morse had a three-octave range, so I'm sure she could've done this song in Annette Hanshaw's key...that would be really interesting to hear; alas, it's not to be, and oh well...
Too bad they both don't sing it in the same key...isn't there some sort of computer program that performs key-raising or lowering without affecting the pace of the song? I don't know. This juxtaposition is most interesting, though...maybe a tad heavy on the reverb, but it's a new way of looking at the song.
Yeah there is a program like that...It's called "Audacity," to name one. Anyways, to my recollection, I do believe I slightly sped up Annette Hanshaw's version while highering the pitch of Lee Morse's version, though ever so slightly. I didn't want to butcher the songs any more than I already did.
A very interesting juxtaposition! I am very familiar with both versions, of course. I like the liveliness of the Lee Morse recording. The yodelling is a hoot! and very typical Lee Morse. The first version I ever heard, from Maurice Chevalier is also a favorite, and may be the definitive one for me(certainly for M.C.s career). Thanks!

This would be a beautiful transfer without so much reverb - or is that on the original record?

No...the reverb was my poor judgment...I thought it would blend the two recordings better.
