Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Puddin' Head Jones (A Bryan, L Handman)
I enjoyed reading all of your posts
My grand aunt was Dixie Hamilton a vaudeville perforner and lou handman and his wife Florrie were family friends for many years
The story goes that lou wrote this song about one if my uncles who was very rambunctious and Dixie would sing it in her act.
The story goes on that this was also one if Babe Ruth's favorites. In fact...my aunt would say..."the babe was the best!"
