Crankin' It Up

The fall of 1918 saw the passage of the Volstead Act, a veto by President Wilson, and the immediate override of his veto by Congress. Prohibition was coming, like it or not. Billy Muray made out all right selling songs about it, and I think this record, "How Are You Going To Wet Your Whistle? (When The Whole Darn World Goes Dry)" was his first song on the subject. This was played on our old Brunswick, as usual.
