This delightful novelty tune will be in my imminent "Dixieland Fake Book
Vol. 2".
The Georgia White version is on Document 5301, "Georgia White, vol. 2"
which is still available. A few weeks ago I tried to get Vol. 1, but it's OP

This CD is worth having just for Ikey Robinson's guitar virtuosity!!!
