about

"I'd Gladly Marry You, Aggie" b/w "Twice Nightly" by Serene Dominic & the Semi-Detached
WOE 46 (WorryBird Disk)
released early 1997

Serene's teary coda to his misunderstood vaudeville period. For a time, Serene and the boys hosted a Trash 'N' Vaudeville Night at Nita's Hideaway every Sunday night just like Ed Sullivan. Needing an opening theme for the show, the Morose One penned "Aggie" after reading George Burns' book about Gracie Allen and their whirlwind courtship.
Since Serene's mother is named Grace, he went with another suitably old-fashioned name.

The tap dancing heard at the end of the song comes courtesy of The Lawrence Welk Show. Co-producer and Zen Lunatics founder Terry Garvin is a Welk fanatic and has taped countless hours of Welk programs. This particular one had the show's token Negro, Arthur Duncan, tapdancing on a raft drifting out to sea! Back to Africa was never like this
