I’m delighted to report that the record plays perfectly and sounds great. In common with the other tracks recorded at the session for the “Ukulele Ike Sings Again” LP, it sadly doesn't feature much in the way of ukulele, but I’m not going to be sniffy about a Cliff Edwards track that's entirely new to me.

When time allows I’ll write up a songsheet for it, but for now I’ve uploaded it to YouTube:

As an eager Doctor Frankenstein once declared, "It's arrived!"

A couple of minor scuffs, but otherwise looks promising. Time to dust off the old phonographic apparatus and see how it sounds… 🤞

Depression made an unwelcome return chez Hancock recently, kicking off its shoes and generally making itself comfortable. Not entirely unexpected, I guess, as the ill health retirement process rumbles slowly on.

This morning saw a very welcome surprise mood lifter raise its head, however, as one of my rolling eBay searches turned up a hit for an obscure Cliff Edwards record, a song that only seems to have appeared once, on the B–side of a Disneyland single. Fingers crossed that it arrives intact.

It's almost exactly a year since I halted my Cliff Edwards Project, an attempt to write up ukulele songsheets for everything Cliff ever recorded, so this will be a good reason to take another look at it. There are still a few obscure tracks I could buy but can't afford (a job lot of 16" transcription discs sent from North America just for a couple of songs isn't practical), but in general it's very uncommon for these things to pop up.
