Name that tune...........

[Dave Lehnert]

We have heard this tune every weekend for years. Never knew it was a song from the 30's.
Just thought I would pass this little bit of history along.

Slap my face!

It certainly is a woodworking song.......

Is it from a TV show?

I always thought that music had that speakeasy-blues flavor to it, but I never really gave it any thought beyond that.

[Will Overton]

I'd recognize that song anywhere. Now I'll be thinking of TOH and Fats Waller.

Thanks for posting. :cool:

[Richard Wolf]

Love those history tidbits. Thanks.

A local NPR station plays this as filler music and I always thought they stole it from This Old House---guess not.

There is an Iphone app out there that names songs for you. My son-in-law has it, you hold the Iphone up and listen to the song and then it will come back and tell you what the song is.

[Ellen Benkin]

Great information!! Thanks.

[Dave Lehnert]

Who would have know there were words to that song.

Glad everyone liked it.
