An almost extinct instrument, the Bock-a-da-bock that would have been used to substitute a drum kit. Due to the recording limitations of the 1920s, drums were not always practical to be included in a recording.
Yes, John Dillinger liked to sing this when he was Billie Frechette and Polly Hamilton while he was being funny or winning at cards! John Dillinger is amazingly awesome! =] Awesome song!
Revisiting here still again and wondering whether you or family might have a clip of your Mom's singing? Brother Ray's talent was easily echoed by his sister Doris (Kulz ) Van Siclen.
Can anyone tell me whether these Rhythm Boys are the group formerly known as The Nitecaps? They made a few sides for Columbia early in 1932 that sound quite similar - in fact, someone even calls out to "Al" on one selection.
According to Polly Hamilton, John Dillinger's girlfriend while he was hiding out in Chicago, he liked to sing this song "when he was being funny, or winning at cards."
How could you NOT like this?! One soul has so much to learn about good music...must be a lady gaga fan...

I believe it's called a choke cymbal, or a bock-a-da-bock.
