Dear Kevin,
It is not shown in my copy of the Anderson Index and therefore may be hard to find.
Unless someone has bothered to set it down in a fake book. (Sheik?).
The original, composed by Sam Fried, was recorded as a head arrangement by the Washboard Rhythm Kings for Victor on 23 September 1931.
It has been reissued on CD. (Playing it now.)
Mr dear mate, drummer/bandleader and record shop/mail order specialist, Dave Carey featured it at a Royal Festival Hall concert in London on 10 November 1956. This was issued on a Tempo 78 disc and is available on a Lake CD (LACD162).
The Sidewalk Bunch rendition is certainly as enthusiastic as the original and Carey versions.
You can download an MP3 copy of the WBRK record at:

Very kind regards,
Bill.
