One of my favorite Lunceford recordings. I like to imagine most of the guys toked up before this "head" arrangement was cut; the vibe in the studio is just electric. December 14, 1939; I wish I could have been there.
Some of the thanks goes to fellow YouTube user "donbenham1", though - he requested this and a few other Lunceford 78's. Then, temptation got the better of me & I ended up raiding my "Lunceford suitcase" & recorded another 10 sides or so. ;)

You're very welcome, jen. :)
Yeah, these are straight line recordings - no EQ, nothing. The pickup is doing an amazing job. ;)

Very clean and fantasic fidelity. Thank, Mark!
