Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
In keeping with the situation, let’s pull a shamrock from the stack of 78s and spin a fun Irish‑themed novelty from 1942.
Here’s Freddy Martin and his Orchestra on Bluebird Records with “Rose O’Day.”
That’s our old friend Eddie Stone handling the vocal. He fits as well with Freddy's band as he did with Isham Jones's!
I once heard this song described as an “Irish ‘Hut Sut Song,’” which absolutely nails it — the same bouncy nonsense‑syllable charm, just with a brogue and a wink. A fun little nugget from the pot of gold!
