Thanx Storm - I watch Huckabee also - I missed this - was out. Would be cool to get signed.
For a while, this version by the Goo Goo Dolls was very popular.
This song is probably one of my biggest passions - I've been collecting the sheet music from 1908 for 5 years now - I've cataloged 25 variations of which I own 23 - the variation is based on whose picture is on the front cover of the sheet music. The HOF only reports 11 variations!!!!!
Also, I own the earliest recording of the song - Edward Meeker - 1908. As I reported here a while back - this is one of the biggest items I picked up on ebay pertaining to my collection.
These are the 'cylinder' type recordings - and what makes this one more prized - IMO - is the fact that the lid is an original from the manufacturer - many times these were lost or discarded and the recording is stored in a generic box and hand labelled.
