Do you love your fruit?

Back in September 2019, we discussed a provocative book: Nadine Hubbs' Rednecks, Queers and Country Music. A friend of mine was kind enough to share with me an amazing video by a 1930s country group officially called "The Prairie Ramblers," but better known as "The Sweet Violet Boys." Here is their rendition of a pretty risqué song titled "I Love My Fruit." (Disappointingly, the group's Wikipedia entry makes no reference to this aspect of their act.)

Nor apparently does the Hubbs—of this aspect or of anything else!
