Here's one from the Old Victrola.....

I'm trying to recall who is doing the singing here on My Blue Heaven with the Dukes of Dixieland.... and thanks to Google, I don't need a memory, which wouldn't have helped anyway, because this gal turns out to be Betty Owens, the wife of Fred Assunto, the trombone playing one of the two founding brothers of the band. She sounds a bit like Kay Starr or Brenda Lee, but she isn't either of those, of course. But it fooled me.... and she isn't 'The Singing Rage, Miss Patti Page' either. I wasn't even close..... but she sings nicely. And that mystery is now solved.
