This song was so popular that it stayed alive on the radio until at least the mid 1950's when it came to my attention, as I drove home alone from a trip to New Jersey. I remember that song and that trip because I picked up a young man from my hometown that was thumbing a ride on Rt 95. Shortly after that, he was killed crossing the railroad tracks near the Dennison Mfg plant in Framingham while driving a cement mixer for his job. So
this magnified, the car trip, and the music I experienced on that last day I saw him alive.
