Roaring 20s: Harry Reser's Syncopators - Ice Cream, 1927

[BizzarreProductions]

I totally want to see a group of college-age native eskimos -- or in their native language, Inuits -- sing and act out this song wearing traditional dress. It would be hilarious!

[Ma1ya420]

sober - addictive - stoned ZOMG either way this tune is :O

[ifultimate]

people should keep old school jazz alive

that way the people of today could love music without curse words

[retrosteam]

Ich bin begeistert, was muß das wohl für eine interessante Zeit gewesen sein, in der diese herrlich ausgelassenen Aufnahmen entstanden sind. Toll auch, daß sich sogar die technische Qualität (auch über You Tube) bei vielen dieser historischen Aufnahmen selbst heute noch sehen lassen kann! Leider sind all diese Herrlichkeiten, auch als Reproduktionen aus den heutigen Medien fast völlig verschwunden. Schön, daß es You Tube gibt!

I knew of this song, but never heard this charming early version before. Thanks so much.

Woow I love all Harry Reser's. The images are superb, when the world started to be "modern"! Congratulations Grzegorz!

Hi, do you know the 'bob" haircut (a la garconne) was the Polish hairdresser's invention? His name was Antoine (Cierplikowski) and as teenage boy he went to Paris from his home town of Sieradz, in Wielkopolska region. He became the most fashionable hairdresser of Left Bank and Faubourg as early as in 1910s. thru Roaring 20s and 30s He was "the one who set women free from their hair". He was a prophet - he cut women's hair short almost ten years before Coco Chanel cut their dresses

[Masquerade03]

I did not know. It had to be a real revolution. Hundred of years women never cut their hair and suddenly everything changes. Very interesting information. Thanks Grzegorz!

Wonderful as ten scoops of ice cream (lody--my first Polish word!) on a hot summer (or cold winter) day.

[240252]

Hi B., today is another morning when you don't know if we have a summer or a wintrer in Poland nowadays. Almost ten people killed by the crazy storms on a night before ... somethinhg like this never happened in this part of Europe. So, the lody dessert will be, probably, more appropriate in December, when on the contrary, the winter heatwaves will be killing us

[Corrie121]

A great favourite of mine. Absolutely brilliant! Great pics too!

Thank you for sharing this.

[240252]

Harry Reser and his unbeatable soloist Tom Stacks, are in power to make sunshine in every heart, and in every gloomy moorning (like today, in Poland swept across by the rains and storms)

[dzheger]

O, what a winner! Tom Stacks always puts me in a good mood with his unbeatable upbeat singing and the lyrics are hilarious. The cheerful illustrations make the mood last longer.

[240252]

Yes D., someone who'd produce an alarm clock waking you up with Tom Stacks' happy goodmorning voice, would make a fortune

This is quite odd - I uploaded a version of this on Columbia by Harry Reser's Syncopators only last night, and it's VERY different to this. What's the matrix number?

[240252]

Twice I answered you and twice my answer has not appear. The way YT work is for me the strangest thing of all! But also strange is when two people - like you & me - in the same time upload the same tune not knowing about one another! My matrix is 145392-2 label Co 1244D side B When the Robert E Lee Comes To Town. My version sounds just like the one from 1928, catalogued by Redhotjazz as Six Jumping Jacks, under the Brunswick label! What a mess Reser was making in his recordings...

[Emidicta]

Indeed he did! It would seem, then, that I've got take 1 (same mx. nr. without the "-2"), in a British pressing w. same B-side. Maybe we should write that out in the titles for our respective videos.

And I agree about YT:s randomness!

[240252]

You are absolutely right. I just added a little note to my info. Thanks for that interesting finding!

Grzegorz,

I love this BANJOLICIOUS treat and I love ICE CREAM. Where on earth do you find these Fantastic photos? That Schrank of yours is a Treasure Chest. How did you get that photo of ME with my DOLLY? :-)

I know that beach photo is in Britian but it could be Dune Rd. in Westhampton Beach. Dziekuje for this Delightful video and song. YOU have made MY day once again! :-)

[240252]

Genia, mein Schrank has a twin sister so there are two of them, each full of old papers and all the junk. I keep them untouched for the opening of your Principessa Cafe. We will find a lot of items to decorate the bar, e.g. greetings Smosarska sent to my aunt from her holidays in Krynica, on the reverse of her photo

[heinbanjo12]

A great version. Thanks Hein

[240252]

Hi Hein, I agree... Reser's bajo beat and the smell of a bruch coffee, on a Saturday noon... What can be better than that?

[heinbanjo12]

Yes and I 'm playing the same banjo as the man on the first picture. Glad I was not in the zoo when they shoot the foto with the icebear. Very dangereous. I enjoy always when the verse is played. Nowadays the verse is not played in general.
