"Hillbilly music from India" is perhaps the best way to describe this gem uncovered by renowned jazz and blues collector Russ Shor and featured on the Excavated Shellac blog. According to the blog, "This disc on the Young India label is something of a mystery. Recorded in Bombay in the late 1930s, by (apparently) a Goanese duo, it illustrates what an international crossroads that city was during the Raj era -- especially when it came to recording." The tune is clearly a translation or adaptation of Will S. Hays' song "Little Old Log Cabin in the Lane" written in 1871, and made famous by Riley Puckett in the 1920s. http://excavatedshellac.com/2009/08/14/fyre-james-and-lewis-borges-sezari-muje-sogle-poule/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Old_Log_Cabin_In_The_Lane http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_S._Hays Here is the original 78 recorded by Puckett: http://youtu.be/QkdrKMl6jwI
