Dance Tunes For Little Folks - Clarinet Polka/Helena Polka
















This is the reason the Schmaltz Factory exists: Schmaltz. Here's a 5" 78rpm record we sandwiched into the sleeve of an LP we bought at the rescue mission. It's a powder blue children record on a label called Spear. Nothing came up when I googled it. It was released in Bridgeport, Conn. No artist is listed either. Ah well, can't win 'em all. The A-side is pretty standard, the B-side is phenomenal. It has a really great laughter along the song from one of the musicians with some really good instrumental mimicry of laughter as well, making this a really fun little novelty ditty in the days of one-take recordings.
