  • @Atticus70 Thank you for this information.

  • Nice recording! For the sake of comparison, check out the renditions that the Golden Gate Orchestra recorded for Edison and Harmony--available at the Redhotjazz site under "Golden Gate Orchestra."

  • I listened to the other version today. I like this one a little bit better. It has a slightly more upbeat tempo than the California Ramblers version. The vocal on this one is a better too.

  • Scrappy is Sensational and so is this song!

    The orchestration is wonderful!

    Thank you Bob, I love it.

  • I am glad you enjoyed it. Did you get your dancing shoes on for this one?

  • I have this record. This is definitely Harold "Scrappy " as the vocalist. This Pollack's all star band. great trombone solo by Teagarden, with Pollack on Drums (He was hot in his own right). , Goodman is on this record, w/Jimmy McPartland Trumpt. Glenn Miller is also on this rcord w/no solo, but his arrangement. The Flutes at 2:00 give it a way. Gil Rodin also on Eb Alto Sax. recorded by Victor.

  • Scrappy can do no wrong, as it definitely is him. Lorin was a pseudonym he often used on Victor. Excellent version!

  • I agree, I bought some of his later recordings and they are less that satisfactory compared to his late 20's recordings.

  • Nice song I hadn't heard before. I wonder why the '30's Pollack records are so much less interesting. I guess it was the musicians and arrangers he had in his earlier band.
