Happy Birthday!

Radio evangelist Billy Sunday
born 11/19/1863
(d1935)

        Billy Sunday was a preacher
        His church is always full
        The neighbors gather from miles around
        Just to hear him shoot the bull
                Oh, there ain't no bugs on me
        There ain't no bugs on me
        There may be bugs on some of you mugs
        But there ain't no bugs on me

                "There Ain't No Bugs On Me," assembled by Fiddlin' John Carson,
                earliest date: 1928 (per Ballad Index); DigTrad filename[ AINTNOBG

        AND:
        Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town
        Chicago, Chicago, I will show you around - I love it
        Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago
        Chicago, the town that Billy Sunday couldn't shut down

                "Chicago" by Fred Fisher

ALSO:
"The Last Shantyman," Stan Hugill was born 11/19/1906 (d5/13/1992)
