Two Vids for you from Larry

Even Great Genealogical Researchers have other interests, I understand. Here's one of Larry's favorite groups from the 1940s, the Hoosier Hotshots:

The Hoosier Hot Shots were an American quartet of madcap musicians who entertained on stage, screen, radio, and records from the mid 1930s into the 1970s. The group initially consisted of players from the U. S. State of Indiana. Beginning on local Indiana radio in the early 1930s, the Hot Shots went on to a successful national radio career on National Barn Dance on WLS-AM in Chicago, Illinois and a successful and prolific recording career, before moving to Hollywood to star in many feature-length western movies.

ENJOY!

It just so happens that he also likes THIS one. It's a little more ON TOPIC (lol) and it's familiar from our childhood cuz it was one of the four records we owned in 1956 when we got a phonograph:
