[vitanola]

An old, familiar song, in perhaps unfamiliar dress:

[video=youtube_share;nJNkPk-tiqw]http://youtu.be/nJNkPk-tiqw[/video]

Now, just fine music, some very early sides by Benny Goodman's organization with vocals by Helen Ward (Oh, how I love that singer!), Jan.1935

[video=youtube_share;5LRV9hrmxXg]http://youtu.be/5LRV9hrmxXg[/video]

and a real barn-burner Fletcher Henderson arrangement:

When Erastus Plays His Old Kazoo - California Ramblers, 1927

Kazoo only heard in last chorus. Otherwise quite a bang-up performance.

[V.C. Brunswick]

My favorite version...

The Savoy Orpheans -- When Erastus Plays His Old Kazoo (1927)

[video=youtube;Ny1K4Qd_z8w]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny1K4Qd_z8w[/video]

 

[vitanola]

I like any version of this song, but my favorite is the version played by Johnny Dodds & His Black Bottom Stompers:

[video=youtube_share;UK8YXrfLAO4]http://youtu.be/UK8YXrfLAO4[/video]

Actually, the version played by the Vitaphone Orchestra in the musical short subject "The Night Court" is nothing to sneeze at:

[Fletch]

Hoagy Carmichael, whistling past the poorhouse in 1930 with a thing called High and Dry. Irving Mills' Hotsy Totsy Gang provides the horsepower.

[Fletch]

Oriental Illusions - Slim Lamar & His Southerners, 1928

Weird expressionist grotesque chinoiserie. Listening to this is like snorting mah jongg tiles. And I mean that in a good way.
