Bud Sherman Comedic songs, do they work ? (23) RE: Comedic songs, do they work ? 20 Mar 99


Harry Belafonte had great success with his "There's a hole in the bucket"

There is another one from the days when most of the country travelled by train rather than by car or plane. Its title is "The train to Morrow". The premise is that there is a town in Ohio named Morrow and passengers enquiring about its departure time can get odd responds because the responder hears "tomorrow" not "to Morrow". It was sung on the old National Barn Dance broadcast from Chicago, a long time ago. The audience always seemed to enjoy it. Your question has brought back a lot of memories of the past.

Cordially,

Bud Sherman
