Description

HERE'S the famous husband-and-wife Vaudeville team and songwriters, "COOT" GRANT & "KID WESLEY" WILSON, in two of their trenchant routines from the T. O. B. A. circuit, "KEY HOLE BLUES" and "'RASSLIN' TILL THE WAGON COMES." They put over their act splendidly on this "Race" Columbia record.  


Grant and Wilson co-wrote the songs for the famous 1933 OKeh session of Bessie Smith, including "Gimme a Pigfoot," which contains the line, "We're gonna be 'rasslin' till the wagon comes." - as predicted by this record!  


This original 1928 "Race" Columbia 14363-D is in beat V- condition. Considerable needle wear, but still playable.  


PHOTO:  "Kid Wesley" Wilson and "Coot" Grant at the piano.  Interesting that "Coot" donned blackface when appearing in Black Vaudeville!

These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing!  My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value.  I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all.  If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will!  Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.”  I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
