Hey friends,
The year was 1943. Roger’s Corner in New York City was the place to be.
Why?
Because the Korn Kobblers were playing a house gig. Novelty jazz from the Midwest in the Big Apple. My hometown of Winona, Minnesota on Broadway.
I snapped this photo.
Sharing with you now.
Best,
Jack
Here’s some fun videos of the Korn Kobblers, and their earlier band, Schnickelfritz…
Heigh-ho, everybody, heigh-ho! I've been singing vaudeville blues music since 1925. I also host a radio show (and podcast), make movies, write books, and perform children's music under the name "Conductor Jack". I'm from Minneapolis, Minnesota (where I learned to drink lutefisk lattes and say "uff da"). Currently roaming around the world singing on street corners, in concert halls, and everywhere in between. My wife's name is Kitty and she's the brains behind Pa.
