From a Shrum family history. Legend has it that Floyd Cramer was introduced to a Mr. Lindell Frederick Shrum, who was promoting Barricini Candies at a function. Mr. Cramer was so struck with the name "Shrum" that he then wrote the tune. Lindell's son, Fred, states that his family was given 10 promotional copies of the recording.
