Irish-American themed song recorded by the Jesters that has all the elements of great a party tune: Dancing, drinking, a band and a pretty girl... This is being played on a 1940's Sears Silvertone Crank style Victrola record player. It's the model that courting couples would bring on their picnics. No electricity needed! I saw this same model in an episode of M*A*S*H* when Hawkeye was examining one of those Bombshell Nurses... More 78 classic records on video coming soon.. I have the Andrews Sisters, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Jordan, Woody Herman, Guy Lombardo, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, BB King, Artie Shaw, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Al Jolson, Bing Crosby, Les Paul w/Mary Ford, Muddy Waters, Big Bill Broonzy, Lightnin' Hopkins and lots of old Swing Era records... Stay Tuned!

  • ahhhhh nothin like those oldies.

  • I can't hear this song without thinking of "Strangers on a Train." It's now forever linked with merry-go-rounds in my mind.

  • That's Fantastic!

  • For some odd reason, this reminds me of the films IndoChine and Apocalypse Now. I believe there was a scene where the special ops soldier dines at a French couples' farm.....

  • Thanks or posting... Love this song since my Mum used to sing it all the time when I was little.

    FWIW, I've always thought the song "Day Trip to Bangor" has a VERY similar progresion.... youtube.com/watch?v=T8WiPy1xSk­w

    Am I right?

  • @desertrat1950 "Stop playing that song! I hate that song!!" Or something to that extent..lol
