[MrRabkent]

Thankyou,Aaron1912,for your reply. I apologise for making pompous comments about this

record-I am not a trained musician so I may be way off the mark,but I have collected 20's and 30's jazz,dance music and swing since I was a boy of 13 and I am now 59 ! I appreciate the trouble that people such as yourself have gone to in making this music available to a wider audience.

[Aaron1912]

Many thanks

Although a popular band in London at the time the phrasing and solo work of this Starita outfit

is jerky and stilted,even by the standards of the time, which means it does not swing. It is not

helped by the public hall,rather flat recording. I used to have a record of this by Golden Gate

Dance Orch (California Ramblers) which does swing !

[Aaron1912]

I like it. It has jazzy syncopation which was the style of the 1920's. Swing music didn't start until the 1930's.

Whee!

[StevenDFenrich]

Handle this one with oven mitts!!!

[scotnick59]

Portions of this nifty record sound like swing before swing was popular

[mojoman4147]

That's not the Starita band, that's Ben Bernie's Orchestra on an early 1925 film they did...

[recordnerd21]

May I ask where you got this particular phonograph record?

[Aaron1912]

ebay



[RatPfink66]

This tune survived into 1932, when The Ramblers recorded it in Holland in a sort of stiffish embryonic swing style. (I doubt any band in the US or Britain would have bothered.)

Why isn't there a time machine when you need one?! They had music - and TALENT - then!

[Corrie121]

Great ! I just love this one !

Thank you for sharing.

[daviddpb75]

That sound so good!

[kesselcourt]

I really admire the insertion of a film clip of a band playing into a still photo of London's Wigmore Hall. Brilliant!

[thelonelyslayer]

[GeminiNightOwl]

Splendid I thought - agree totally.

[sigft25]

[Persphonefallen]

[quivertree]

ditto on the mp3 ... you should mp3 these songs and put em on a site ... you'd have many indebted fans

[girlhitsbus]

I love this. Does anyone know where I could find am mp3 of it?

[85scampi]

One of my earliest 78 finds. Some records are just TOTALLY EXCELLENT and this is one of those records. Far better than my early upload.

[kspm01]

Fabulous.

[busternuckles]

The lyrics are what makes this song so I'm surprised there was no vocal. I have a recording of this song sung by Harry Richmond

[Stompy23]

Excellent rendition of this classic. Thanks!

[Aaron1912]

[85scampi]

[HarborGuy]

Grerat recording - does the hall stille exist today?

[Aaron1912]

Yes, but I think they recently modified the look of it.
