Graveyard Jamboree with Mysterious Mose
In honor of the start of our Halloween countdown, I thought I’d share a short film that Strange Jason showed me a few years back: In case you were wondering, the song the film is based around is a 1930 song by Walter Doyle. Mr. Doyle first played it with his orchestra and “Mysterious Mose” …
