Hadley turned on the heat...why would you do that, it's been so hot in Sydney...anyway, have a bucket of ice and a fainting couch ready, because I'm going to turn up the heat.

Back at 'cha with another rarity from Selvedge Selvin, whose music was always "all wool and a yard wide." He must have sold millions of records, but those he cut in 1932 survive in only a handful of copies. Here's Paul Small singing All of a Sudden.

I have a story about that tune. My trio and I were playing one cold night at the 7th Regiment Armory in New York for the world renowned Winter Antique Show. We spotted Bobby Short, the singing piano man, hanging out digging us. I said to my guitar and bass player, "Can you back me on these chords? I wanna see if Bobby knows this tune." And I told them the changes to Frost on the Moon, and we played it. Afterwards Bobby did come over and complimented us. "I haven't heard that tune in quite a while!" :)

In tribute to Vic's hitting streak, here's one Victor, one Brunswick, both from 1934.

Jimmie Lunceford's band on Victor, where they were 15 minutes too early and 40 cents too expensive for the still scarce record-buying public.

The customer with a little extra cash found Leo Reisman's society two beat, and probably Brunswick's subdued studio tone, more to his liking.
