"Waitin' For The Evenin' Mail," by Marion Harris was recorded in May of 1923, and this YouTube posting is by Pax41. Al Jolson also recorded this song in 1923, and his version is the one I am familiar with, because we have it on a vinyl re-issue from 1981. I wish I had an original so I could share it with you, because he interprets the song a bit differently than Miss Harris. It's an amusing song no matter who sings it, so listen a few times to get it stuck in your head, and you will find yourself singing this one when you think that no-one is listening . "Honey, please don't fail me, Hurry up and mail me bail, That's just a year ago..." That's entertainment!
