Bert Firman's Arcadians Dance Orchestra: When I Met Connie In The Cornfield

[gevans28]

Probably the best tune of this kind that I have ever heard.

That, and Plain Jane - but i can't find that on here.

I was naughty and recorded this on to tape from Alan Dell's 'Dance Band Days'!!. A fantastic version - The Best.

My Dear Fost,

I love it. I love the lyrics.

It is just DELIGHTFUL! :-)

The band,particularly sylvester ahola were not too keen on the organ,as it was felt it detracted too much from the quality of playing.How right he was.A trumpet solo with an organ playing at same time is not too clever

@davidglow3 I'm sure it sounded horrid with the organ live, but given the state of recording technology in 1929, I feel that the organ adds power to the bass tones, and provides and excellent percussive effect. The (over)use of the organ gives this recording character, and distinguishes it from other pop records of the period.
