@Diosprometheus Also see Mr. Dixon's The Four Jumps Of Jive on my channel. It was his group just before Big Three Trio.

I can't quite make out what the bum is shouting, does anybody know?

@Bounderandacad "Till The Day I Die" must be some old song. Maybe it's on YT!

@geofbrit59 The joke is that THEY had recorded "Till The Day I Die" for Delta earlier in 1949. That's why he's saying "you'll have to take your business to Delta."

@marvy42 So that's the story. Glad you let us in on the joke. Thanks!

@BeatNick13 Tim Spencer, indeed. The original recording by the SOTP was a duet by him and Lloyd Perriman, with Hugh Farr (otherwise on violin) playing the mandolin. The lyrics here are not the original ones.
