The Sidewalks Of New York- Nat Shilkret Orchestra

[SoniaLenora]

I wonder who remembers the television that use to come for children. It was called the Childrens Hour. It always had this Beautiful Music. The Sidewalks of New York. I Remember on television when a Bellet Girl Danced to This Music.

Ah, yes, and the days when dogs were dogs, and cavemen were cavemen!

This recording was made in 1928. "Sidewalks Of New York" was written in 1894.

@drigin1234 I just watched this for the first time in a long while and I get "queezy" when I see those two men sitting on an Ibeam around 2:40.

Great post. Love the song, music and pics. These two men at 2.34 must have had nerves of steel. I felt dizzy just looking at the picture!

Thanks for sharing this fine presentation.
