This makes nostalgic for the 30s and I wasn't even around then, or was I?

compared to today's songs I'd rather listen to this at least this song has meaning unlike today;s music.

My father is a concert trombonist and professor of music who picked up the ukulele as a hobby last summer. I hear him sing and play this song on his ukulele every time I visit my parents' house, and now this song will always remind me of him!

@fanofprotopic Yes, it's the same Cliff Edwards. He was hired by Walt Disney to voice and sing the Jiminy Cricket character in the 1940 Disney feature-length cartoon, "Pinocchio". Cliff spent the rest of his life and a second career working for Disney up until his death.

Muy nostálgica version! Supe de esta canción cuando era adolescente gracias a Mitch Miller y su coro! Felices fiestas desde la Argentina!

@1848dragoon I would have never thought of that! Thanks for the advice because I usually play a concert. What size did Edwards play?

If you find the reduced tension of concert Aquila strings is not to your liking (on a concert scake uke) at F,A#,D,G, fit tenor scale Aquilas to it. The slightly larger diameter is higher tension at G,C,E,A, but is normal tension at F,A#,D,G. Possibly, the nut slots would not be quite wide enough, but hard to say without trying. There isn't that much difference. Experiment and see what suits you best. I like tenor strings on my cigar box concert scale uke for F,A#,D,G.

We thought this style was the "cat's meow." It was too.
