Black Jack David

The Big Rock Candy Mountain
Written by Harry McClintock in 1895, copywritten & first recorded by Mr McClintock in 1938 under his hobo name, Haywire Mac.

*Performed by Steve & Robin Siegel 
*Christmastime, 1985
*Glendale, California – living room concert with an audience of 50 or so. 
*Recorded on an average boombox cassette recorder of the day. 
*Any ticks or snaps you hear that you might think are static in the recording are actually spits & wisecracks emanating from the spirited Yuletide Fire merrily dancing behind us. It wouldn't hush up. Especially after it heard mention of those burning jungle fires!

The Big Rock Candy Mountain

A popular song from the 19th century first published by Hughie Cannon in 1904. This is a version I arranged very close to how Sidney Bechet interpreted it.

Frankie and Johnny for Clarinet

Classic tune by Euday Bowman in a version closely resembling that of Sidney Bechet. Pictured is Annie Chambers, reknowned madam whose bawdy house was located on 12th St of Kansas City, the famous thoroughfare which originally inspired Bowman.
