"Little Peach" - Waring's Pennsylvanians, 1925 (Tom Waring) Video

LITTLE PEACH - fox trot (from the Musical Comedy "Louie the XIV") (Muñequita) (Arthur Wimperis—Sigmund Romberg) Waring's Pennsylvanians, Vocal refrain by Tom Waring Victor, 19636-B, c. 1925 "Little Peach, little Peach On a branch above! You're as sweet as a Peach could be! Little Peach, little Peach You are ripe for love! I beseech you to fall for me! But the shy little Peach Nestles out of reach, In a nest that is all her own! And I fear it is true, That if you only knew, She's a Peach with a heart of stone!" When I was about 18 years old, I found at home, in yet another trunk, a collection of shellac records, neatly stacked together, and all still in their dust wrappers. These were my grandmother's. Even at my age then, I liked the songs from the past, and I felt as though I had discovered buried treasure in that trunk! My grandmother was pleased that I had found the records and that I enjoyed them as much as she had. She had packed them away very carefully and I think they must have represented the happy times of a particularly carefree year or two in her life in the 1920s. I intend to post other records from her collection. The "Peach Girl" in the slideshow is a Harrison Fisher illustration from 1915.
