This week we are revisiting that artful Vaudevillian, Frank Crumit as he performs one of the real classics of the Roaring Twenties, "Crazy Words, Crazy Tune." Frank was at a real disadvantage in the years before 1925, when his expressive voice did not come through well on acoustic recordings. This is one of his best, and you can hear him strumming along on his ukulele as he sings.
UPDATE: I just noticed that this record is the 350th posting on my YouTube channel. No Oscars yet, though. My YouTube views are now past 830,000, which is much more impressive than the numbers for True Blue Sam. My blogging may not be very good, but at least there is a lot of it.
