After all these videos and fancy stuff, I'm gonna dip into my collection of old 78s. The Sweet Violet Boys were actually The Prairie Ramblers. Like many artists of the time, they recorded under a different name when the material was considered risque. Bob Miller, the pianist in the group wrote There's A Man That Comes To Our House. He went so far as to publish the song under the pseudoname Trebor Rellim, or Robert Miller backwards. I also understand Patsy Montana left the studio when this or similar songs were recorded. Things were a wee bit different back then (mid-thirties).
Enjoy The Sweet Violet Boys recording of There's A Man That Comes To Our House, Columbia 37768.
