My granddad would buy one or two records a month. I practically lived with him when I was a kid during the decade of the 60s. I spent many hours listening to his extensive collection. This was one of my favorites along with “Does Your Bubble Gum Lose It’s Flavor On The Bed Post Overnight”.
Isn't it amazing how well a clean 78 RPM record will play? Credit to your turntable and OM-30 cart, and wired to mono.. everything done right!!! What a wonderful tune! Thanks for posting this!
Hello ChiefJusticeBadger, Record was played on a Dual CS-5000 turntable with an Ortofon OM-30 cartridge and 78 stylus. Signal is fed into a cheap phono preamp then into an old BSR graphic equalizer and on to the little Fisher Stereo receiver. I have the two channels on the cartridge bridged to produce a mono sound output. I recorded the music on a Philips CD recorder and ripped the CD into Windows Media Player 11 on a Toshiba laptop running Windows XP SP3.
Yes, I remember seeing the "4-speed" record changers from the late 1950's and 1960's. I have seen a few 16 2/3 speed disks. These were recordings of books that were designed for people with poor vision or who were blind. Kind of like early "books on tapes" and CD's that we have today.
Great to hear of a 45rpm copy of this record. I have never seen a regular 45 or 78rpm copy. As you can see, my 78rpm copy is a promotional "disc jockey" copy.
My record player, which I bought in Canada in 1977, does not even have a 78 speed. Do you remember some record players in the '60's had a 16 speed, yet I never saw a 16 record.
Hey KA7E11, please see if you can find their version of "Tennessee Border". It's another great one. ...She was too fat, he couldn't court her, now she wears a girdle around her Tennessee Border....
Thank you for posting this as it made my Dad laugh!
I was a young kid in the fifties. My dad had this song somewhere in his collection and I haven't heard it in probably 67 years! Thanks for posting!

I wish I could like this a thousand times! 😂😂😂

I just got done playing this 45 (RCA) record of mine and transfered it to a CD. I would play this over and over in my pre-teen years.
Found it in a dumpster behind a radio station in Twin Falls, Idaho 25 years ago.

Thumbs up if you still have a turn table (and perhaps occasionally listen to records on it).
Well, I never thought I'd hear "The Stars and Stripes Forever" played on a mandolin!

Wow! What software did you use to clean that ? It sounded great.
Always wondered where I remembered "Be kind to your Web Footed Friends" from, thanks! Did Homer & Jethro do a song named "Foolish Questions"?
I have that version but it is done by Ernest Tubb and Red Foley. Still looking for the Homer & Jethro version.

Yeeeeehhhhaaaaaaa !!! Too bad they're gone now cause we could sure use their comedy now!!!!
I have the Homer & Jethro version on a cassette tape titled "America's Song Butchers."
I Have this on an old 45 but it's in bad shape and would ruin my needle. I love this song.
Freakin Great!!!
Love the ending!
you guys have to listen to their LP...I'm looking over a 4 leaf clover...amazing.
@DonsVideoWorld Yes they did, at the end of their album "Sing Along With Mitch".
What tune is that from :26 to :33 ? I know it is common and probably in several songs but could someone name some for me?
K454 Mozart? Thank you!

Does anyone know if the lead guitar on this record was Chet Atkins?
I wouldn't be surprised.....
Peter Lind Hayes' Song.
I like how it ends
