Crankin' It Up



The record this Friday is an old favorite song of Engineering Johnson. He learned this song from a CD by R. Crumb and the Cheap Suit Serenaders. This recording is by the Cook Sisters, who cut two sides on September 28,1927 at the Brunswick studio in New York, and were never heard from again. I picked this disc up in an antique mall, and unfortunately it has tape on the paper label. Don't do this to your records; it can't be peeled off without hurting the label. Put on your dancing shoes, because this is a nice Fox-Trot.
