CHUBBY PARKER
And his old time banjo
THE BASICS
ARTIST : CHUBBY PARKER
LABEL : Columbia 15296
SELECTIONS : King Kong Kitchie Kitchie Ki-Me-O
Down On The Farm
RECORD DATE : August 23, 1928
CONDITION : E+
He sang whiskey songs from years gone by in a high, clear voice and strummed a banjo. It proved that in the era of the crystal radio set, that was enough to make you a star of the airwaves. Step up, Chubby Parker – businessman turned broadcaster, one of the earliest exponents of old-time music to become regionally famous through the power of radio.
Between 1927 and 1931 he would produce more than 50 issued sides, though the repertoire they reveal is only about half that size, because he recorded many of his songs twice or three times.
This one is a pair of songs from a session for Columbia on August, 23, 1928. One side features “King Kong Kitchie Kitchie Ki-Me-O” and that’s years before the great big ape King Kong stole the name. On the other side is “Down On The Farm.”
