Goofus - Cumberland Ridge Runners (circa 1932-35)
Who knew there was a cult of GOOFUS out there! People playing it on ukuleles, foxtrot versions, a band named after Goofus and of course -- hillbillies galore! There was a "Goofus Bird" the official insignia of GOOFUS CLUBS OF AMERICA. There's a reference to Goofus in the movie The Road To Singapore starring Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. When they arrived at their hut, Bing bounces on a creaky old bed, hits the mattress and proclaims... "Soft as goofus feathers"!
Also check out Red Nichols and His Five Pennies with their great version of Goofus.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!
As many of us slackers prepare for a weekend orgy of grilled meats and cold beers, it is important to remember our past and our heritage.
What Makes The Pie Shop's Tick Flickr site is chock full of vintage memories. Enjoy.
