This was written by Green as a ragtime piano solo, and published in 1918 by Ted Brown music company. Here Green performs it as a xylophone solo with band, improvising many phrases quite differently than printed.
This music is an early example of the foxtrot, which provided the basis for the development of novelty ragtime. Green was a great ragtime performer on xylophone. He often "ragged" popular dance tunes, as well as writing some amazing novelty xylophone rags of his own.
HA! Of all the records in my collection, this is probably the last one I ever expected to see a dupe of!
