That's the Chief himself [Bill LeCornec] performing Edward Kean's unforgettable song; Kean, who just passed away a few days ago (shortly after Mitch Miller himself), wrote virtually all of the "Howdy Doody" scripts and songs from 1948 through '55.

Interesting. You can hear how elaborate the music for even the simplest of lyrics was years ago. Love the orchestra. Is that an old 45?
