[78-L] Drunkard Song - Rudy Vallee

[David Lennick]

He wrote in My Time is Your Time that he was doing 4 or 5 shows a day (at the 
Paramount), the band was just exhausted, the song was silly and the trumpet 
player "made a face" and he just lost it. He did another take where he's 
suppressing a laugh, and that was issued first, but the breakup version 
wouldn't be held back. Different flip on each disc (I forget which has Lost in 
a Fog, but I suspect it's on the non-breakup and thus rarer).
