Thank you for uploading this. I was looking online at pictures of Findlay, Ohio (my sister's home of the last 20-something years), and I saw a picture of a sign that said something about Tell Taylor, who wrote this song. I'm 42 and had never heard of this song or its writer. Very nice.

I believe that this is from Command Performance #157, broadcast over the Armed Forces Radio Service (AFRS). Recorded January 11, 1945.

[@zzyzxx13]

Wow! I only knew Sterling Holloway and Andy Devine from reruns of various 60's tv shows. And The Skipper (Alan Hale Jr.) sure is a chip off the 'ol block, huh? lol

You had to be around then, to appreciate it.

[@retiredmusiceducator3612]

not really - loosen up, throw out your modern mentality, go back to some of our past ... history has its place - and 'dis is da place' (bing crosby quote)

[@madmadpoopoo1228]

almxx nah, I’m only 12 years old now. I appreciate this music. I have a thing for old school things. Everyone thinks it’s weird. But I think it’s a gift.

[@joerivandeweyer3056]

no, what kind of mentality is that? I'm enjoying this as if I was there hah weird

When you didn't have to be vulgar to be humorous.

WHO WAS THE WOMAN?

[@queen_articfoxworth6879]

Only know this because of watching s2:e18 of mr.young on netflix

[@joerivandeweyer3056]

that's sad. that's really, really sad. And that profile picture too. Stop being a weeb. Start bettering yourself. That means no Netflix too.

[@ProfessorSyndicateFranklai]
