I wish I could ad this record to my 78 collection.

This was probably written as a send-up of SHE'S THE SWEETHEART OF SIGMA CHI. What a hoot.

[LNei]

apparently she was worth the trouble ;)

I totally dig this cut. Harry's all too

brief solo is simply beautiful.

日本人の私が聴きますと、いかにも

古きよき時代のアメリカ、を彷彿とさせますね。

Reser was such a strong influence on Banjo & plectrum string music in the 20th Century that the Reser Banjo Method (Instuction) Book that was authored by Reser, & published in the 1920's for private instruction use, has continued to be the authoritative method book & is still widely used today to teach Banjo Method, especially plectrum proficiancy to this day - that's how good he was, his style of playing & performing is carried on through his written work. I think Rubank is the publisher.

One of my fave Harry Reser cuts.

The too short thus leaving you wanting

more, banjo solo, has such a sweet tone.

Good Jazz and of course the Banjo was tops - I think the words would hold true today lol.........

Thanks for this lively number. It's just what I need to wake me up after a short trip to West Virginia.

Ritmo, ritmo la lalala la lalalala

The nice energetic 20's sound with an upbeat young voice (in spite of the indecisive sweatheart).
