"Rockin' Chair is a 1929 popular song with lyrics and music composed by Hoagy Carmichael.
Hoagy Carmichael and his Orchestra recorded a new version on May 21, 1930, featuring Bix Beiderbecke on cornet.
The song utilises "call and response" to create a dialog between an aged father and his son.
Armstrong performed and recorded "Rockin' Chair" numerous times in his career with his trombonist Jack Teagarden.
Other popular versions in 1932 were by The Mills Brothers, and by Louis Armstrong with Hoagy Carmichael.
