LOVE IT!! I often hear people complain about the sound quality of these old recordings but I think this is what gives this music so much character and originality ( besides how great the musicians sound obviously). Everything is way overproduced and digitalized these days....These mono recordings sound so organic and warm......Keith Richards once said that analog recording is far more superior than digital, and there is nothing that sounds better than listening to music on vinyl.....I agree!!!
I liked this song because it was funny watching my mother get up and dance with my father. I had such a great time with them because they told stories of their past.
Just not possible to add to others here and say more. OUTSTANDING for sure. Love the drive and even the scratch doesn't take away from their musicianship Thanks Mole.
Mister MoleDFigg, in your 'more info' section, you list some band members. According to michaelminn in his Louis Armstrong discography, the line-up for tbis record is: Oliver, Joe "King" (Cornet, Leader) Armstrong, Louis (Cornet) Dutrey, Honore (Trombone) Dodds, Johnny (Clarinet) Hardin, Lil (Piano, Arranger) Scott, Bud (Banjo) Dodds, Baby (Drums) Johnson, Bill (Bass) Please keep your oldies coming, they are very good and very entertaining!
According to michaelminn and the Armstrong discography, "This building where the band recorded was in such close proximity to nearby railroad tracks that the band had to time their performances not to coincide with trains passing through."

The middle strain of this tune was "borrowed" by Disney songwriters for the song "I want to Be Just Like You" in "The Jungle Book"
