Lovely song. Only place we'd hear new music in this style would be in a lovely romantic movie. Ahhh!

Ben Selvin es uno de mis favoritos. Es una delicia.

I didn't know that Selvin went this late, especially during the Royal Blue Wax period for Columbia - what a great recording. What is the flip side?

Now on 1933 in my series of music playlists for each of the past 100 years.

Play all on any year, hear the evolution of pop music over 4 generations . . . . . . .

@chkjns Within my collection of pop music which spans from 1897 (Emil Berliner lateral cuts) to 1958 - you are spot about that the progression is stylistic growth and changes are most evident!! Thanks! TD

Interesting. I guess Warsaw and New york (and Hollywood) in the 30's had a similar demographic mix. :)

Great to see all my friends gathered around these elegant dinner tables. Just one question: how come I was not invited?

[edgrosso]

I was looking for you. Helluva party.

@barbcard Did you forget ??? You called that supper off because you had a hangover.

Sh*** happens when "the night before"... you consumed too much alcohol.

A great version -- both orchestration and singing -- of this delightful tune with its clever lyrics. And these appropriate pictures -- what fun!
