VERY NICE, I LOVE THESE OLD SONGS. IT MAKES ME HAPPY. I´M 74 YEARS OLD. THANK YOU FOR POSTING. GREETINGS FROM BRAZIL.

[TheLZ127]

The only other copy of this I've ever heard was by Bojangles Robinson. Both fine stuff.

[Atticus70]

@TheLZ127 Check out the version by Irving Mills (Hotsy Totsy Gang), Doin' The New Low-Down.

thank god for this song! i think i raped the replay button?

[jg2904]

In an interview with Jon Burlingame, Jerry Goldsmith described Lud Gluskin as being intolerable and a laughingly called him a "terrible man". I still gotta thank Lud for giving Goldsmith his big break...

What a fanstasitic era!!!!!Berlin PRE Adolf Hitler - What a great place!!!

[Harlan346]

Hey! Please add to Lud Gluskin's bio that he was THEE music director for CBS Radio during the great days of radio! The guy did everything. Just two examples include his music for "Our Miss Brooks" and "Amos & Andy." This is all on the web. And I do recall the great days of radio. Radio and TV both suck now, of course. So stay tuned to this lovely YouTube and listen elsewhere on the web to Lud Gluskin's radio show music work. :) Cheers!

[acerb45666555]

before the war, this city was saturated with spies! im amazed at the gutsy ones who hung on during the war! in Berlin!! sitting in cafes casually reading novels, the very picture of calm coolness! what nerve!!

[beefnotfish]

God I wish I was around back then!

[gwenhutson]

I wish I could find some shoes like they wore then.

[purclassic1]

You can:) if you look very hard in your local vintage shop Im sure you'll find something...I found a pair of shoes the women in the red cross during the 40s used to wear:)

[78timothy]

This is from "Blackbirds of 1928" featured Ellington, Bill Robinson, Ethel Waters, Cab Calloway, and many more...

[dittybop12]

What ever happened to the "old" Lowdown? I can see why it was replaced. Love the photo's> I really want a time machine now!  10 plus.

Emile Christian was from New Orleans and played the trombone with the Original Dixieland Jazz Band's London recordings.

[vividwatch47]

This is the same Lud Gluskin who became C.B.S.' music director,

[RatPfink66]

Yup. I read somewhere he was a show pit drummer in NYC, went over to France to fly planes in WW1, and just stayed. He was most popular in Germany, but lost his band in 1933 because his Jewish heritage meant he could no longer work there. That's when he returned to the US.

[Harlan346]

@vividwatch47 Yep. I posted that in detail until I just now saw your mention of it, too, my friend. Cheers for Labour Day! :)

[Warnergurl]

Love this song! Also sounds like music that they used to play in those old cartoons!

[busternuckles]

Really HOT! I have this song sung by Bojangles

[manyonerise]

Fascinating! Great music, great photos. Thanks! :D

[kspm01]

Wow, I'm starting to get some clues here. You not only have an impressive sound collection, but an equally rich library.

[barbcard]

Hi G., I leave tomorrow for tropical London. be back 2/25. Don't know about computer access.

Cheers, B

[dzheger]

Bubbly tune, enthusiastic singing, and a nice collection of zany dames.

[kspm01]

Fantastic version! Gorgeous pictures - incredible where you keep finding them.

[barbcard]

Hot enough to melt the ice outside my door. Who's the lady in the bed or chaise lounge ca. 2:00?

[pwarkentin2pc]

Another excellent number. I loved the stage photos.
