[Dixielandjazz] Rosemary Clooney_Come-on a-my house

[Anton Crouch]

Her "Italian heritage"?

I don't think so - Wikipedia gives Irish/German/English.

For those who think /Come-on-a-my-house/ is the pits, remember the old 
adage "no matter how bad things are, they can always get worse". I'm 
thinking of /Botcha-a-me/ from 3 years later.
