Scotch And Soda was discovered by the Kingston Trio through the parents of the baseball player Tom Seaver, who had first heard it in a hotel piano lounge in 1932 when on their honeymoon in Phoenix, Arizona. They liked it so much that they had the piano player write it down for them so it would be "their song." Dave Guard was dating Seaver's older sister Katie at that time, and heard the song on a visit to the Seaver home. Although it is credited to Guard he had it copyrighted in his name on March 30, 1959, the Kingston Trio never discovered the real songwriter's name, though they searched for years, 044A Mac Wiseman “Scotch And Soda” #88-C&W/1979 044B Ray Price “Scotch And Soda” #70-C&W/1983 045 Kingston Trio “Jane, Jane, Jane” #93/1962 B-side. 046 Kingston Trio “Old Joe Clark” #113/1962 A-side 046A Fiddlin' John Carson “Fare Thee Well Old Joe Clark” –/1924 Earliest known recording of this traditional folk song. 047 Kingston Trio ‘C’mon Betty Home” –/1962 B-side.
