Frederick R. "Chubby" Parker (1876–1940) was an American old-time and folk musician and early radio entertainer.
[1] In 1925 Parker began appearing frequently on the National Barn Dance program of Chicago radio station WLS.
Other successful songs that he played on the radio and recorded included "Nickety, Nackety, Now, Now, Now", "I'm a Stern Old Bachelor", and "Get Away, Old Maids Get Away".
[citation needed] After 1931, Parker apparently left radio and stopped recording, although he did return for the WLS twelfth anniversary celebration in 1936.
[1] In 1952, Harry Everett Smith released his influential Anthology of American Folk Music, and included Parker's song "King Kong Kitchie Kitchie Ki-Me-O", a version of the traditional English folk song "Frog Went A-Courting".
