Saw that too.  That is sooo cool!

In my collection of records, I have two 78 RPM recordings of "Deck Of Cards" that my father bought many decades ago.
One has the narration done by T. Texas Tyler from around 1948 (who I believe wrote the lyrics) and the other performed
by Tex Ritter about a year later.
