This is a little Buffalo boy who sings coon songs quite well and whom we had to press into service on Tuesday in order to set the show, as the National Trio was so bad that we cancelled them after the first performance. There was no apparent reason for the National Trio being on the stage although they had a lot of scenery and tried to give a picturesque act, and the audience were going out asking where the joke came in. Little Dave is on for 6 minutes and does fairly well.
