Elks - 1908 BPOE Song
Here is one for my brother and sister Elks. This is a 1908 recording (some of the fun is that you can see the record playing in the clip) of the song, BPOE ("Best People on Earth"). It is sung by renowned vaudevillian Nat Wills, who was one those early practitioners of that specialty, the funny song. This song describes his initiation and subsequent experiences with the Elks (tongue firmly in cheek). Fortunately, the words are shown in the clip too. Enjoy!
