    What a great comment--so glad you're enjoying these! Fun to put them up--got to listen to all of them in the process. I had no idea, decades ago when I bought this album, that others would be listening to it this way. Thanks for stopping by!
    Best Regards,
    David

    When I first learned this song, I was amazed to find out that the endorsement racket long pre-dates radio and TV. Plus ca change, etc.

      etc...la plus la même chose (he said, coughing up some college French). Thank you for your comment, Susan! Indeed, I first realized what this was about when I did the recording for this posting. ('The more the change, the more the same thing'.) Glad you enjoyed it!
      Best Regards,

      Don't worry about the French; I minored in it in college. Regrettably, back in those ancient days (I graduated in 1970) they taught reading and writing rather than speaking (for a very funny take on this issue, check out Hortense Calisher's story whose title is a phonetic rendition of Verlaine's "Il pleure dans mon coeur"). Reed and Knight made a great pair.
