Yep, folks, I got the song from listening to Randy Blake's country records show on WJJD in Chicao. That show was THE SUPPERTIME FROLIC. Dale Rose, who looks in and posts here too, sent me a photo of a fellow who looked like Paul Whiteman the band leader---but it was Randy Blake. Randy had a great voice. He was always hyping fruit tree seedlings for sale. Everything advertised on the show you could send a check or money-order to pay for OR you could do it C.O.D. (Cash On Delivery)---yourmailman would actually take your cash money for it when he gave the package to you !! Can anyone imagine that today in the USA??? They'd be offing mailmen for their cash like they do cab drivers.

Anyhow, that song done by me is now on a CD from Sandy Paton and Folk Legacy Records. The title is Art Thieme---That's The Ticket.

Get it at: www.folklegacy.com --- Camsco Music --- and all other reputable dealers from coast to coast.

Buell Kazee's, the original record of this song, had a different tune.
