I LOVE the Mound City Blue Bowers version, almost desert island (even if it sounds like "dummy " lyrics, but heck, I also love "Tea For Two's" lyrics), will have to play it in the next day or so, BYW have they figured out who is singing on the MCBB record (I know that McKenzie is playing the comb on this one and Berigan and the wonderful and criminally under rated tenor sax player Forrest Crawford is also on it)...

seems to know their identity.
