Bill,

Thanks for the link. If nobody has a lead sheet for it I'll do one up and offer it up to anyone who wants it.

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.
