I liked the still at 1:32 of a young Joan Crawford from the 1928 film Our Dancing Daughters. Too bad that was a silent film. Had it been a sound film I bet the music would have been fantastic. I have that film on video. It is a great representative film of the "Jazz Age."

G. I like this very much - it's a good song and rather unusual tune. There is a real belter of a recording by Sophie Tucker "The Last Of The Red Hot Mammas" acc. by Miff Mole's Molers on 4-15-27 Okeh 40813/Parlophone 3342. You can find/download it on the Red Hot Jazz Archive under Miff Mole. Enjoy. Happy Christmas, Mike

I agree with both previous comments! Thank you for the info about this very underrated musician. This song is outstanding!

I read it after I wrote the above comment. Anyway, in small dozes and when done carefully it's a great exercise. Luckily I'm out of breath before I manage to break a limb. :)

I love the interesting intro section and the swingin kind of country feel with the banjo's. The song itself is the cat's meow!! 5*

Thanks for all the great info on Charles. Not very well known, he made some outstanding records during the 20's including "Tiger Rag" and one I just picked up "Campus Capers".

Grzegorz, My Jumping Jack shoes have stolen my Passport and are on their way to Bydgoszcz! They heard the BANJOS and went wild! Be very afraid! :-)

[Amatherasu1789]

As always very nice songs!

[dzheger]

A perfect Charleston. Made me get up, hold on to the chest of drawers and do a minute of dancing. Exercise with fun.

A very "hot" version of this song! Thanks!
