At 73, my memory is not what it used to be. But I swear I remember this song being sung by Andy Griffith back in he early 1950's. His version was more boisterous,vibrant,compelling than the version I am hearing from Standly. I was up,jumping around with arms in the air,and singing too. I also recall that I once had that '45 record and that it was on the flip side of Andy's story: What It Was Was Football. Does anyone else recall Andy doing this version?
There was once a magazine ( newsletter? )called GOLDMINE. It listed all the old 33.3 and 45 records with current prices. It was a publication that was somewhat sporadic, I think. But it was highly prized by collectors. Does anyone know about this publication> Could it list the version of Grandma's Lye Soap in it?
