'My Little Bimbo'
By Hal Davis

Perhaps Matt Caulfield overlooked one of the more interesting tunes of
that era of "exotic" music from the Pacific.  It is "I've Got A Big
Black Bimbo Down On the Bamboo Isles".  Great tune.

Hal Davis

 [ So. Frisco Jazz Band performs it when we think there are no Women's
 [ Lib fanatics within earshot.  The copyright title is "My Little
 [ Bimbo (Down on the Bamboo Isle)".  Exotic: hardly; Hawaiian: no --
 [ it's pure vaudeville by Tin Pan Alley pro's Walter Donaldson &
 [ Grant Clarke, (c) 1920.  Great tune!  -- Robbie
