From time to time on Queer Music Heritage I like to feature songs that don't really fit into any theme, so the rest of this month will be another one of my Songs I've Been Meaning To Play shows. It's Volume #9. As I was digging deep into the 60s for my Troy Walker show, well, I was in the mood to keep digging, and really highlight obscurities from the early years of our music.

Irving Berlin had to cut his song out of the production
of "Yip-Yip-Yaphank"
