After a month-long delay, I’m glad to be back doing these posts. I had a really bad cold, and a slow recovery time. My ears are still clogged from inflammation of my sinuses (After this long though, I don’t think it’s so much inflammation as just fluid stuck in my ears), but other than that, I think I’m okay now.
I offer this post as a replacement for the ones mentioned in Bob Purse’s “The Wonderful and the Obscure”, where he linked to posts in my past blog, before I switched back to WordPress.
Gene Marshall’s later version of “Helen Goodnight”
In trying to find the infamous song-poem “My Doll Jane” on Discogs, which as of 3/13/23 is not there, I found a version of the flipside of that, “Helen Goodnight”, that he recorded later!

Gene Marshall ‘s later version of Mike Thomas’s “What Do You Say Baby…”
Frank Wilson, the writer of “What Do You Say Baby Beautiful Joyce”, as well as Beautiful Joyce herself, reconfigured lines of the song, mailed them to another song-poem outfit, and had this version pressed themselves!

After seeing Bob’s post of a George Liberace Songsmiths 45, I decided to buy my own.
Little Darling – Dick Kent Download
When I was a kid, we went to 2 different stores with Santa Clauses (which I think helped mom & dad to pick out presents as well), and I actually said to the one in K-Mart, “I was gonna say I wanted [whatever it was], but I already told you that at Howard Brothers.”
