The DeZurik Sisters - Hillbilly Bill

We have blogged about The DeZurik Sisters and their patented yodeling style before here. But I dont think we have published any tv footage of them before. So. Here is a clip from the Old American Barn Dance with them. Cackle away girls!

Granny's Mini Skirt

Irene "Granny" Ryan warbles on about her old, withered body in this 60's novelty record.
Where are the novelty records of today? Jon Hamm singing classic pop tunes from the Sixties? A Snooki Holiday LP? Charlie Sheen singing smarmy lounge tunes?
Future generations will never know the joy of the celebrity record unless they get off the dime!

Thanks Granny!

Kings of the Steel Guitar

"Kings of the Steel Guitar" features: Pete Wade, Leon McAuliff, Herb Remington, and Jenks Carmen on the bargain Design label. Not all C&W numbers here: a weird rockin' Oriental flavored number, a Sleepwalk styled track (or two), and a tune entitled, "Hillbilly Hula" which falls in the, "this I've got to see" category.

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.
