"Nola", Victor Salon Orchestra, dir. Nathaniel Shilkret

[MrBermusic]

Este disco de 78 rpm estaba en casa de papá hace un "jurgo" de años. Desafortunadamente en alguna ocasión se cayó al suelo y se volvió añicos. Pero debido a la magia de Youtube lo acabo de encontrar para solaz no solo mío sino de la multitud de oyentes que degustamos este tipo de música.

Most likely Milt Rettenberg playing piano and Lou Raderman playing the violin.

Great stuff. This tune is frequently used as Photoplay music, but I never knew the name of it before. Terrific and versatile melody.

[Kiarinadia]

Thanks for adding that historical recording to the community.

It always pleases me to hear this. The way I feel when I hear it tells me this was written by my relative or something, and there it is boom- Felix Arndt Dennis Arndt

Dennis, I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. It is such a wonderful piece. I'm always cheered up by it.

Regards, J.

Thanks for this video. I love this tune, because it was a favorite of one of the greatest mandolin players Jethro Burns. It is very interesting for me to listen to this historical recording.

[fuzzbear6240]

mandoIsland, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. It is a favorite tune of mine. Thank you for watching.

Regards, J.

This song has followed me around all my life, as my name is Nola. My piano teacher made me play it...I hated that! And here I am much older now, and I like the song now! It's actually pretty...thanks for posting this!

[fuzzbear6240]

Nola, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. It is a lovely tune. I can understand your feelings about it when you were a child learning to play it. I see you have a nice little collection of 'Nolas' going, well stay tuned, I'll be adding two more at some point in the future. :-)

Regards,

J.

Highly recommended reading: Nathaniel Shilkret: Sixty Years in the Music Business (Hardcover). In these autobiographical writings, one of the twentieth century's most influential musicians describes his own life and relates anecdotes of his dealings with such notable figures as George Gershwin, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, and Fats Waller.

[fuzzbear6240]

Ned, Thanks-sounds like a great read-I'll have to look for it! Regards, J.

[hylianviolinist]

I've finally found 'Nola'!

It makes practicing the song much easier, knowing what it sounds like.

^^

[fuzzbear6240]

Very happy to be of assistance, even if inadvertently! ;-) Regards, J.

[kspm01]

Once more the ubicuous and versatile Shilkret is great.

[fuzzbear6240]

I agree, Shilkret is under-appreciated today. There's more to the twenties than just Jazz. ;-) Regards, J.

[aldiakaroofus]

Got that one, that's the better side.

[fuzzbear6240]

Yes it's a fun side. Regards, J.
