Johnny Got a Zero - Walt's Daughter - 02-03-2011
One of my listeners brought this to my attention. Am looking to obtain a copy today, but in the interim, here's some interesting facts:

The song "Johnny Got a Zero" was released as sheet music in 1943, lyrics by Mack David and music by Vee Lawnhurst, and topped out at #4 on the Variety list for the week of April 28.

I know the music is including in at least one video on YouTube, but if anyone finds a copy of the original from 1943, so I can download it, let me know okay! Just gave a quick look today, but gotta run right now...
Many thanks,
M1

I'm cleaning up the copy right now with some restoration software. It should be ready later today for upload to the music jukebox.
It's just been added to the Jukebox.
Gotta run. Have to work in the store now...
