  Here's the recording

"Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" is a popular song written by Frank Churchill with additional lyrics by Ann Ronell, which originally featured in the 1933 Disney cartoon Three Little Pigs, where it was sung by Fiddler Pig and Fifer Pig (voiced by Mary Moder and Dorothy Compton) as they arrogantly believe their houses of straw and twigs will protect them from the Big Bad Wolf (voiced by Billy Bletcher). The song's theme made it a huge hit during the 1930s and it remains one of the most well-known Disney songs, being covered by numerous artists and musical groups. Additionally, it was the inspiration for the title of Edward Albee's 1963 play Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Ben Bernie (May 30, 1891 -- October 23, 1943), born Bernard Anzelevitz, was an American jazz violinist and radio personality, often introduced as The Old Maestro. He was noted for his showmanship and memorable bits of snappy dialogue.

Overview:
Ben Bernie and Friends, who include Harry James and his wife, vocalist Louise Tobin, plus fellow leaders Tony Pastor and Jimmy Dorsey. Technically, Ben Bernie can be called a Jazz Age personality because of his having an orchestra during the period. Ben and his 1920s band, way back in the "Jazz Age". But in reality, he is more of an emergent from the 'roaring 1920s'.

Ben eventually formed a band which led to a career in radio and motion pictures. He was a wonderful Master of Ceremonies, Comedian, Bandleader, and sometime Singer (of sorts). Ben began his career in pre-WW1 vaudeville. By 1922, he was leading his own band.

Ben Bernie's orchestra, in the 1920s, included Jack Pettis, formely of the New Orleans Rhythm Kings, and now with Bernie has a very nice solo on this tune. This also made him one of the first Jazzmen to appear on film.

From 1933 to 1937 he had his own very popular radio show, sponsored by the Pabst Brewing Company. The band recorded a great many songs, and also appeared in films. (One with Walter Winchell co-starring.) Bernie's hallmark was his saying 'Yowsah, Yowsah' at the beginning of, and all during his radio or stage performances.

 Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:

As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.

Quick note on grading:

The Grade (Excellent to Fair, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately, when prefaced with "HOWEVER" or "BUT" they will be significant.

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to F), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a given pressing.

These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.

Pls check my other auctions for more great records and phonograph items:

US Domestic Shipping:

Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:

Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Estimate count for Album Sets as number of records plus 1 record. I have a great track record for sending LARGE PARCELS of records safely

1 record: 4.75$

2 records: 5.75$

5 records: 7.50$

10 records: 9.50$

MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail will probably not exceed 30$.

The numbers above include the 9% Ebay fee on shipments.
Pls ignore the automatically calculated prices on the ebay site, as I will weigh every parcel and charge based on actual weight.
