"When Lights Are Low", The Benson Orchestra of Chicago

Victor (BW) 19198-B, "When Lights Are Low"—Waltz (Kahn-Koehler-Fiorito), The Benson Orchestra of Chicago, Under the direction of Don Bestor. First issued in late 1923, played on my 1921 VV-50 on the Charles River Esplanade. We were on the landing behind the Hatch Shell, you can hear the rumble of the Red Line trains going over the West Boston (Longfellow) Bridge in the distance and you can just see the old Citgo sign at Kenmore Sq. lighting up in the view with the geese floating by.

CURIOSITYPHONO, That's the old West End of Boston, Mass. in the distance. The bridge is the West Boston, know colloquially as the Longfellow Bridge. 'So glad you enjoyed the video.
