I must admit, the 78 records of yesterday were not in my collection but the song sounds somewhat familiar. Your version is a pleasant listen and much better than any 78 I've heard. Great job Len...Brad

@oldmansteds well you sang this so well, I had to go and look and see if I am related to Frankie. Bummer I am not (per-say), his 2nd Wife Nan Grey was married (her 1st husband) to my 6th Cousins, etc..
