Singing, strumming his five-string banjo, blowing his harmonica, whistling a bit, he was a much loved figure before going to oblivion in the depression era, like many others. His most enduring song is undoubtedly 'King Kong Kitchie Kitchie Ki-Me-O' (aka 'Froggy Went A-Courtin'), which was selected by musicologist Harry Smith for his Smithsonian Folkways Anthology, and was covered by, among others, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Chubby+Parker+and+His+Old+Time+Banjo">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
