@agesagomusic08 Glad you enjoyed it! B.A. Rolfe had one of the best bands in the 1920s!

Great song by a great band. A nice smooth sounding disk too - its amazing the difference between the surface noise on etched and white lable disks - the former sound like a pressing made of concrete!

Richard, Thanks alot! B.A. Rolfe is fantastic!

The etched labels from WW1 and after tend to be noisy due to lack of materials in war-time. The white labels are very quiet, and when they started electrical recording at Edison in late 1927, the DD's have almost zero surface noise.

I like this one! It sounds like a morning song from a 50's movie!

[Paal1994]

Yes, it does. Strangely, the people I've played this record says exactly the same as you!

This is a great electric DD. Nice vocal refrain.

Rocky, The electric Rolfe DD's are always good. No wonder he was the highest payed instrumental artist that recorded for Edison!
