Variations on a theme:
American-Trinidadian: Gin And Cocoanut Water, w&m Wilmoth Houdini And His Royal Calypso Orchestra, Decca 23543, 1946. Note: I've seen unvalidated release dates as early as 1939.

Jamaican: Rum and Coconut Water (w&m Jamaican businessman Abe Issa) Hubie Porter, Times Record UD.1005, Jamaica, 1950.

American-Bahamian: Gin & Coconut Water (w&m American composer Alice Simms) First recording is a bit of a mystery but not far off from the above.
Bahamian Blake Alphonso Higgs (1915 - 1986)
Blind Blake (2)
Blake Alphonso Higgs


Nothing at all to do with any of the above:
American: Arthur Blake (1896 - 1934)
Blind Blake

PS: Dave's still not here man...
