Thank you..... More great stuff...Ted Wallace & His Campus Boys -- My Kinda Love (Louis Alter / Jo Trent), Columbia 1929.

Ed Kirkeby (Ted Wallace, Ed Lloyd) (1891 - 1978) band leader, vocalist, manager, and salesman, is best remembered as the manager of Fats Waller. He was one of the first recording managers at Columbia Records to record jazz. In 1924, as the manager of the prestigious American dance band known as the California Ramblers, Ed Kirkeby decided that a quintet of the band within the band would be an excellent novelty, especially for playing popular tunes of the day for dancers who preferred their music with a strong jazz flavour.

78s to look forward to pulling frozen letters off the front of the marquee by --

Now playing, it's Young America's Favorite, Ozzie Nelson and his Orchestra in 1938, getting all academic with "You're An Education." Very nice, but don't think you're gonna get any post-grad study there, pal.

Next, back to 1935 and Phil Harris and his Orchestra, with a highly cooperative version of "I'd Like To Take Orders From You." I'll have two eggs, scrambled, a side of sausage, white toast, and a large tea, no milk or sugar. And make it snappy, I'm in a hurry.

It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing - Washboard Rhythm Kings, 1932.

The singer sings "It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing" - as it was usually sung at the time. The idea that music could swing was not yet widely accepted.

Last night I went to see the Puppini Sisters and in the theatre before the concert they where playing Phil Spectors "a Christmas Gift to you". I have not heard this in a good few years.
