[78-L] trivia question and Cary question

[Dan Van Landingham]

About that song "Little Red Wagon".I grew up listening to my mother sing thata 
song.I wonder if she had
heard Hank Penny's recording but never knew who it was.She also used to sing the 
song "The Man Do-
n't Come(To Our House Anymore)".I found an OKeh recording of it from around 1940 
and she said that was the recording she heard.I want to say it was by Frankie 
Masters but that was another one of those
records that disappeared when my sister in law sold 1100+ LPS plus a karge batch 
of 78s for $100.

First, where did you read this comment? I must have asked Hank about this record 
in one of our interviews but I can't recall whether he was proud of it or not. I 
can tell you, however, that for all his clean-cut image, Hank did love a good 
racy joke, and it doesn't surprise me in the least that he made this record 
(which was also recorded by Tampa Red). Hank even told an off-color joke at my 
wedding, but because it was good ol' lovable Hank, he got away with it. I can't 
reveal the details of the joke; suffice it to say it had to do with garden 
vegetables, specifically, tomatoes and cucumbers. Use your imagination.

Although he didn't sing "Poodle" at my wedding, he did do "Won't You Ride in My 
Little Red Wagon."
