A fabulous duet from 100 years ago! They don’t make ‘em like this anymore. Lovely accompaniment, funny lyrics, and a great arrangement, all add up to some entertainment, baby. Enjoy.
An unbelievable and seldom heard track by one of the greatest songwriters of all time. Ich bin einer Berlin…

Clean as a whistle on a hot soapy shammy! That washboard, indeed gets you wiggling! Tiny Parham was a Chicago band leader that never really hit the lime light like some of the greats did. Yet his ability to lay down tracks for Victor records will not be ignored here! This Mp3 is hoppin!
