Richard Pennycuick asks Deryk Barker: >1. Is this the same Allan Jones? >2. Does he remember Donkey Serenade? I'm not Deryk, but I'll answer just the same. 1. Yes. It was Jones's big hit. 2. Yes. It was my favorite record for a while when I was a toddler. It wasn't even my parents' record. We used to go over to my grandparents' house every weekend. My grandparents had this huge cabinet-model 78 turntable and a bunch of old discs: Schumann-Heink, Caruso, Gallagher and Shean, George M. Cohan, "Uncle Josh Buys an Automobile," and "Donkey Serenade" among them. I got to choose records and work the machine. Oooooo. Steve, who hears "a song in the air,/ but the fair/ senorita doesn't seem to care/ for the song in the air"
