Peeling Potatoes | 1949

"Part of a collection of Soundies found at an estate sale that belonged to a guy who used to do maintenance on the Scopitone film juke boxes. The collection contained several 40 minute reels with a number of Soundies included. This Soundie features a World War II mess hall theme with G.I. Joes singing about “Peeling Potatoes”.

Here is "A Study In Brown" featuring Reg Kehoe & his Marimba Queens with Frank DeNunzio, Sr. on Bass!  This is from a “soundie” from 1940. As these films were rear-screen projected, the image has been reverse corrected. I also cleaned up the sound on it too. If this doesn't put you in a good mood; check your pulse! 

By all means, share the joy if you like it & let's take on the day!
