About Lil McClintock

Lil McClintock, of Clinton, South Carolina, was auditioned in 1930 by Burm Lawson, the manager of Cooper's Furniture Store in nearby Union, who acted as a talent scout for Columbia Records. McClintock practiced in the store's backroom before catching a train to Atlanta, where he recorded four sides, including "Don't Think I'm Santa Claus". This medley combines four ragtime songs that were published more than two decades earlier: "You Must Think I'm Santa Claus" (1904), "By the Watermelon Vine, Lindy Lou" (1904), "Keep a Little Cozy Corner in Your Heart for Me" (1905), and "Everybody Works but Father" (1905). As Richard Raichelson has pointed out: "The medley could well have been contrived for the finale act of a minstrel show where such a presentation would conclude the proceedings with a grand climax." The name "Lil" is probably short for "Little".
