A lost film (later reassembled from elements at MoMA) from 1913 starring Bert called The Lime Kiln Field Day has this bit from its synopsis:
"Eyeing a man with a jug of gin, Bert sees the drink being hidden in a well and retrieves it for a taste before accidentally knocking the jug into the well. Undaunted, he writes "Gin Spring" on the wooden well enclosure and calls fairgoers over to sample the tasty polluted waters. Suddenly finding himself an entrepreneur, he sells his "discovery" to his rivals for a handful of cash and goes off with the girl for a day of food and fun."[5]

Not exactly in the timeline, but The Young Gods' version of this - from their incredible '...play Kurt Weill' album - is fantastic.

I never expected to hear Ruth Wallis played on the radio. An aunt of mine had several albums of hers she bought in Florida during the 1950s

"Drinking Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee" by "Johnny Burnette ...
"The Burnettes lived in Lauderdale Courts, a low-income federal housing project where the concrete walls of a laundry room provided the perfect echo for rehearsals. A frequent visitor to their sessions was Elvis Presley, who lived in the same development. And, according to the Burnettes, it was there, not at Sun Records, that rockabilly was born." www.vintagerockmag.com...

First version I heard was Jerry Lee Lewis but 1966 not allowed. How cool to hear so many earlier versions!
