[78-L] April Foolish

[Jeffrey Lichtman]

> For the first time in many years, I'll be on the air for two hours on April
> 1st.  Would you all be so kind as to propose big band era funny records,
> foolish things, and maybe just a list of the more outrageous Fats Waller
> discs.

> Rodger Holtin


Here are a few:

I Like Bananas Because They Have No Bones - Willie Bryant and His 
Orchestra, Bluebird B-6436

Knock, Knock, Who's There - Fletcher Henderson and His Orchestra, Victor 
25373

The Horse with the Lavender Eyes - Johnny Johnson and His Orchestra, 
Conqueror 8505

Shut the Door (They're Coming Through the Window) - Johnny Johnson and 
His Orchestra, Melotone M13444

It's a Great World After All - Don Redman and His Orchestra, Brunswick 6344

Jug Blues - Rex Stewart and His Orchestra, Mercury 8001

That last one was recorded in 1946, so you may consider it outside of 
the big band era. You might want to use it anyway, since it's pretty funny.
