Nice cover of Mel London‘s Cut You A-Loose.

Labor Day Parade March Composer: H. C. Verner Published By S. Brainard’s Sons Co. Chicago, 1896.

Proud-ly we march– on “La-bor Day,”

On “La-bor Day Par-ade.”

Bop Cat Stomp, King Charles & His Orchestra (1954)Except for discography and a few audio recordings on YouTube, I can find almost nothing about Charles Morris (aka King Charles, Blue Charlie Morris, Left Hand Charlie and Morris Charles).
