Another great show. I always enjoy your short songs shows. But I must say...one of the selections was not nearly short enough! (song no. 12). But out of 59 tunes I guess they all can't be good.
I especially enjoyed hearing The Stringalongs version of "Should I". I have a few other records by them, but hadn't heard that one. I know the song very well from the 1929 movie in which it was introduced ("Lord Byron Of Broadway") and from several original 78 RPM records I have from that period on which various bands and vocalists perform the song.
The effort and work you put into researching and preparing your shows is very much appreciated.
