Cool.

@say10hailmarys You are the personification of boredom.

[Platschheimer]

@say10hailmarys Your comment is far from being funny. If someone opened the spit valve in your head I guess there'd be nothing but hot air coming out of it. You seem to be a queer nerd. And that's why you like dixieland.

[1shakeys]

Thank for posting this. It's really good.

[Platschheimer]

My channel has over 500 playlists & 111 of them feature the music of every year since 1900. I added this to my 1926 list - the year this was first written & recorded by Louis Armstrong (the year my mother was born!)

[putitupmike1]

You cats are the Meow! I really like the close ups,. I wish you were playing at my local pizza parlor.

[JLHarmony1]

Real nice job boys! Tempo is great--not too fast, as often it is played. If I'm ever lucky enough to get to Warsaw (I was born in Warsaw, the one in NY, USA, not Poland) I'll look for your gig. Keep up the good work!

[TheUnbreakableOtaku]

One of my very favourite jazz songs, and this is an amazing rendition of it!

[mousebone]

MUSKRAT RAMBLE!!

[WytZox1]

Why is this video not playing?

[CherylCurrie]

Part of the Harlem Renaissance and therefore a symbol of hope and change.

[ukuledoj]

holy.... how does he play the clarinet so well.. i played for 4 years and i cant even play close to that

[krakus777]

That's really simple: this guy plays for 24 years. Keep practice next 20 years. Your sucsess guaranteed!

[melissamccraw]

[Morahman7vnNo2]

Drinking on the job ay? 1:01 I wonder If Alexander knows?

[hotasfire666]

Very funny!

[abgbddsg]

Mostly played faster,sometimes played like this! Certainly well performed for this video, maybe between some glasses of good polish beer? And nice sound from the bass-saxophone!

[limon276]

It's a pity that the ragtime and jazz bands from the years 20s thru 40s had not sounded so in 78s, for lack of digital technology. This is the sound that those bands should have been in those discs.

[DrKorn5]

umm have u ever heard one played on something like an old Victrola? You do know that with digital recording they leave out stuff that you supposely dont hear. Back then its was acoustic and then electrical.

[VaudevilleJoe1925]

U just can't beat the sound of a 78 on a Victrola. It's, as U know, exactly what parlor parties (which couldn't afford a band) heard. Makes you feel as if you've traveled back into time & wonder when the party will begin. I've many digitized 78 recordings on CD. U just don't get the feel of the era as U do when played on a vintage apparatus. Try it; I think U'll find an astounding difference. I've a 1920's studio model.

[limon276]

Hi Joe: By the way, I would like to see a disc lathe of the acoustic era (pre-1925) in activity, but I've never seen a photograph of one of them. Does your know how to locate an image of such device?.

Thanxs in advance.

[VaudevilleJoe1925]

Hello Limon276. Quoting from Avid Tech, "78 RPM recordings generally require quite extensive multi-pass filtering treatment and even scratch and pop reduction by hand. We cannot guarantee an outstanding result however our methods produce the best possible transfer."

The filtered/digitizing of 78 recordings (circa the 21st Century) I harkened to, sound all too clean for my liking. Again, you don't get that great pop, sizzle, scratchy sound as found on a Victrola played on authentic 78s.

[bluemoonjazz]

About the tempo,

here it is just right.

It's a Ramble - not a race!

Great !

[ImFrom1900]

I have now seen this video, Hmm... let me see... At least four times! AND I've subscribed, too!

[ImFrom1900]

I have to say, this is one of my absolute favorites!! Well done, and as with all your other supporters, I like the tempo!!

[motstraumen]

well done, I like the tempo!!!

[MamaWaluigi]

Song is very good.

[Sactreats]

I like it when bands play this song a little bit slower. Not always, of course, because it takes a certain finesse to make it sound good at a medium tempo rather than fast, but they've got it down here. I also love the bass saxophone.

[Shackamaxon]

I just have to close my eyes and I'm on Bourbon Street

[CWG40]

Little too slow.  Good though.

[Biber0315]

Initially I thought so too, but they pull it off well. Nice and laid back.

[infrogmation]

Slower than one usually hears it, but I like this. Some folks think some tunes have to be raced through, but when the tune is good, playing at a moderate pace can bring out more detail.

[shizonastick]

love this style! keep up the good work guys!

[gb72095]

[rageagainstme3]
