The later(c.1930) Bidgoods have a nice full sound,often issued on the 8" Broadcast label as Nat Lewis. The vocalist,singing in the 'falsetto' style of the time e.g. Les Allen,Lou Aberlardo,and Eddie Kollis.... is Tom Barrett.
May be only my imagination, but the songs from 1930 sound like the band playing while the Titanic Sinks. "If we all just concentrate on being happy, maybe all these bad things will quit happening." It's as if whatever magic spell created the 1920s has been broken.
One of the loveliest and most charming tracks ever recorded. It's amazing how a song so old can move a modern listener. This is a nice version. I first heard it via Annette Hanshaw's memorable rendition.
