Playing it now...amen, brother! Brunswick 3557-A. The B-side, "Where  
The Wild, Wild Flowers Grow," isn't bad either. That's one of three  
Herbuveaux records that came my way 12 years ago when I purchased the  
leftovers of a big local collection. The others were Brunswick 3606  
and 3646. B-side of the latter, "Who's That Knockin' At My Door?", is  
another fave. All six sides have vocals by Frank Sylvano.

Take care,


Joe
