That must be the fastest sax "laugh" ever. Anyone know how he did it? I can do the laugh like Rudy, but this is much faster. In general, Baird's sense of time is better than Rudy too, but it's 16 years later, so not surprising. Emidicta, is there another Baird selection on the other side?
@sweenus I know nothing about actually playing music unfortunately - I just really admire those who do! The other side is the William Tell overture played by Baird in under 2 minutes, and I uploaded it at the same time as this one. Go have a listen!
@BaTh82 I didn't know that it was - unfortunately that of course means that I cannot answer your question. Wish I could. Still - thanks for your comments!
So this is my grandfather, and I know nothing about him, he died when my father was very young, my middle name is Baird and I have two of his old saxophones hanging in my home. Thank you for this!
No problem, it's always great hearing from the relatives of some great artist! And your grandfather sure could play! If I find any more of his (admittedly quite scarce) records, would you like me to drop you a note?
Jo, undrar om Baird kanske turnerade i folkparkerna -46, och ist. f. att göra nya inspelningar så återutgav man de han gjort 10 år tidigare. Den här typen av nummer lär ju knappast ha varit ett av de större affischnamnen för en paketturné vid det laget, men det kanske dög som pausunderhållning.
That's "corny". The slap tounge stil of saxophone playing was a vaudeville attraction in the late 10s and early 20s . For 1937 it's very old fashioned. Thanks for this interresting document.

Skojig skiva,lite märkligt att den återutgivits på musica för visst var det lite gammeldags underhållningsmusik även i Sverige efter kriget...
