Halloween Countdown - Day 12 - "Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater" (1939)



As our Halloween countdown hits Day 12 and we move into 1939, I realize we haven't had any pumpkin yet!

I like the guitar on that a lot!

Herbie Kay was a fairly successful bandleader who passed away prematurely in 1944, but perhaps his greatest accomplishment was discovering and marrying to Dorothy Lamour!
