[78-L] "Mammy O' Mine"

[Bill Knowlton]

"Instead of "Mammy", Jakie sings "Mammy O Mine" (1919)...the "talk back" session (as they are 
called) I played the Adele Rowland Victor of the song. You can hear it on the 
National Juke Box site and also on the Victor discography site"
 
I've loved that song, and artist, ever since I was about seven years old and discovered Adele's record in a Victrola at a summer cottage in Sharon, CT.
 
Since then I've obtained the rest of her Victor releases (therer were four I believe) and a Columbia "Hesitaton Blues."
 
I really like "When the Preacher Makes You Mine..."
 
She was married to Charles Ruggles and had a career on Broadway. And a voice that to me was so reflective of that era.
