William Claude Dukenfield (1880-1946), better known as "W.C. Fields," was an American comedian, actor, juggler and writer. He appeared in many plays and movies, always playing a hard-drinking misanthrope.

In 1946, shortly before his death on Christmas Day, Fields recorded a spoken-word album, which consisted of 2 tracks: "Temperance Lecture" and "The Day I Drank a Glass of Water." The recording session was arranged by Bill Morrow and was recorded at Les Paul's studio, where Paul had installed a new multi-track recorder. You can hear Paul playing guitar in the background. It was Fields's last performance.

The album was originally released on 78, but has been re-released many times, including this 10" record published by Jay Records in about 1950.
