Crankin' It Up



I tried to look up his oddball record on a discography site and can only guess that it was recorded between 1925 and 1927. One thing that's obvious from the name of the record, and the lyrics, is that folks didn't worry about offending others with ethnic labels eighty years ago. I guess the author liked the illiteration and built a song around it. I wonder what we are doing today that will seem incredibly insensitive seven or eight decades in the future. Click the play button and have a listen to Honey Duke and His Uke!
