Perhaps the most underrated big band of all time. I could be wrong but I believe Walter Winchell and he created a make believe fued much like Jack Benny and Fred Allen. It worked.
Dear friends, and especially 240252! This recording was recorded on May 31, 1928 by Ben Bernie and His Hotel Roosevelt Orchestra: Ben Bernie-vn, dir, Ed Smalle and Dick Robertson-voc,Donald Bryan, Bill Moore-t, Frank Sarlo-tb, Norman Ronemous, Len Kavash-cl, as, Jack pettis-cl,Cm,ts, Nick Gerlach-vn, Al Goering-p, Paul Nito-bj, vn, Max Rosen-bb, Sam Fink-d, Kenn Sisson - arr. GREAT and HOT version, the trumpet is fabulous.
i love this orchestra also; i many of his recordings, but i wonder if you have his version of "when polly walks through the hollyhocks"?if so, could or would you please post it? you have a marvelous collection and your presentation is the cats pajamas..ha. thanks.

Love the clowning around, esp. the singer's. Suits my absurdist temperament to a "T"!

This is the hottest version of this often recorded tune that I've heard. Great non-stock arrangement.
