Notes:
~ A poem by Joyce Kilmer set
to music by Oscar Rasbach in the form of a concert song.
Recorded by such diverse musical
aggregations as Bunny Berigan and his Band for
RCA Victor, Claude Hopkin's
Band for Decca, and the country group The Sons of the
Pioneers for RCA
Victor. Perry recorded two songs with the Sons of the Pioneers in the
early
1950s, a cover version of their popular "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" and
a song titled
"Lonesome, That's All". This
song was recorded by Perry during the album sessions for his
first 12"
LP compilation "So Smooth" but not released.
