(Formerly The Ol'Kunnel's Bar And Grill)
The 1920s saw a great profusion of songs celebrating the appeal of the Southland. Though Kahn and Donaldson had never been in either Carolina when they penned this tribute, their adroit combination of hopping and skipping notes, internal rhymes and tongue-twisting descriptions produced an irresistible travel brochure.
The Ol'Kunnel (who cannot read music or play by ear) first arranged this great tune for the GT Power Network in the late 1980s. The "GT Net" was a group of Bulletin Board System operators using ANSI graphics at the time. The Kunnel coded this fine tune in the ANSI format for a get-together being held in North Carolina where GT Power Sysops abounded. Since moving the Internet in 1997, the Kunnel has finally worked up a version in the MIDI format with respect to those old friends in North Carolina, no longer BBS operators but still in Carolina in the morning.
Words by Gus Kahn
Music by Walter Donaldson
Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina
In The Morning,
No one could be sweeter than my sweetie when I meet her
in the morning.
Where the morning glories
Twine around the door,
Whispering pretty stories
I long to hear once more.
Strolling with my girlie where the dew is pearly early
in the morning,
Butterflies all flutter up and kiss each little
buttercup
at dawning,
If I had Aladdin's lamp for only a day,
I'd make a wish and here's what I'd say:
Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina
In The Morning.
