Recorded on August 17th 1929. This popular novelty foxtrot was written and performed by Leslie Sarony.The record states there is also a 'Gardening Talk by Tommy Handley'!.
Lovely to hear this song again after so many years, thanks for the posting. Can you help? I seem to remember my father's version began with a brief snippit of the start of MORNING from the Peer Gynt Suite. Are you aware of such a version at all or is my brain totally befuddled? Thanks again, Pete
My dad always talked about this song, as one he remembered from his childhood, but only remembered the title! - I never thought it actually existed until I heard this - thanks so much for sharing it!
I missed this one yesterday whilst going through all the stuff i had missed!I love this-"uncle Joe in his little bungalow"just reminds me of my old Uncle Albert who was always "mucking about the garden",and lived in a 1920s bungalow!!

Thanks for posting this. Such a reminder of British radio back in the 1940's etc. The speaking voice is Tommy Handley.

Very special blend of band music, folksong-like tune and sketch performance! A rather atypical Payne recording, in fact, which makes it interesting.
