Home!!! Grew-up listening to these songs. The local radio station played these on Sat. evening!! Pig feet souse, family by the light of the lamp!!! These songs make me "feel" every sensation experienced during those nights!!

In 1953 my parents brought this album back from Nassau when I was 4, it's the first music I remember. It's wonderful, thanks for posting it.

Brilliant, my dad was given this as a collection of 78s in the early 50s on returning to the UK after nsome years working in Nassau, what a singer.

One of my all times favorite records, quote possibly number one

Nice quiet copy. What turntable and cartridge was used to make this transfer? Love it.

I can distinguish all of the lyrics except for 8:55 . "The cap'n got drunk. Broke up the people's trunk. The police came on board and take him away." what did he say during ?
