I had a copy of this same recording I used to play on my dads victor. The record was broken and I have been trying to find a copy of it, no luck :(

This song was written and composed by Ben Bernie.

There is an early film of Ben Bernie directing his band playing this song, so check it out.

This song was later used as the theme song to the "Harlem Globetrotters" basketball team.

Mlaprarie, Fantastic recording. Thanks for sharing. Love those Granadas! :-)  Regards, J.

Nice post. The sound seems very good for a "plastic or bakelite record, and the available quality of YouTube sound. I guess the relatively new "vacuum tube" amplificaton was not only used to amplify sound during playback, but also make the records.

These Orthophonic gramophones had no electrical amplification at all, reproduction was purely acoustical; only the turntable motor was electrical here.

Ok thanks, I guess they used electrical amplification to make the record, but didnt take the extra steps to allow electrical amplification of playback into an acoustic speaker (im, not sure what year reasonable speakers came out, but its about that time).

[kspm01]

Exactly. Now when you look at merrihew's channel, you'll see a model of the same period that had both systems combined. You could either choose acoustical Ortophonic reproduction (definitely the best) or a less good, electrically amplified one, which had the advantage it offered volume control.

Trailkeeper, The records were still shellac at that time as well. Only Edison was using a plastic-Condensite. Apart from the ability to control the volume, most of the electric speakers contemporary to the early run of the Granada (4-4) 1925-1928 weren't yet as good as the Orthophonic horn. They soon were though! The acoustic phono was all but extinct by the end of the decade. Regards, J.
