this great tune was featured on HBO's Boardwalk Empire this week...it was sung by a naked call girl playing the ukulele

[allendale1962]

@fmazzar Interesting.

The Japanese Sandman was written by Richard A. Whiting in 1920. Paul Whiteman's instrumental version was certainly the most well known at the time, but you can argue that the version sung by Nora Baynes was the best. In any case, it remained one of the most popular songs for years afterward.

@SirCrooner Thanks for all the info on this wonderful song!

[minmal]

@xxcrazyosakaxx Thanks.

Major Hit by Paul Whiteman in 1920. Whispering was his first big one and this was the flip side. But you do it beautifully!

[allendale1962]

Charlie Chaplin, my bad, I was typing too fast before.

Are you doing this all from a record or practicing before hand (and then play it)?

[allendale1962]

It is in my head. This was a one time run thru!

[stk38349]

Reminds me of a silent movie I once seen, maybe with Charlie Chapman in it. It sounds perfect man.

Why aren't you getting paid for this?

[allendale1962]

Thanks. His name was Charlie Chaplin. I don't know why I am not paid for this ! LOL
