I love it! I restored player pianos for over 33 yrears,from 1980 till.(know retired) and many a night with friends and customers ,half drunk, did we play and sing this catchy tune.

Love this old music! The titles on lots of these pieces were "something else" as well. :-)

They loved long titles at this time--this one is short by comparison.

VictrolaJazz You mean like " Oh How I Laugh When I Think How I Cried Over You ?" LOL

[@VictrolaJazz]

Pianosyncrazy Yes, but still short compared to "It's the Smart Little Feller that's Stocked up His Cellar that Gets All the Beautiful Girls!"

I have heard that the price of shoes were thu the roof....in the early '20's for some reason. Thus the one photo in the "Phantom" silent showing so many -

This is indeed a transitory time for music--you can especially hear the changes on record. Some of the recordings still have the rather monotonous, repititous rhythms of the late teens ragtime era, but others at the same time have the sound and style that was fully formed by 1922 in all the bands. My favorite of this on record is by The Benson Orchestra of Chicago. I still have the sheet music my mother (1902-1997) would play from in the 50's when I was a kid, the first time I heard it and loved it. It's how I got interested in the music and found the collector in our town, R. E. M. Gottlieb, who had begun his own collection in 1925 when he was 16 and by the time I met him in 1960 had some 10,000 records all shelved and cataloged and about 2,000 duplicates in his storeroom behind the garage. I bought, traded and sold with him until his health failed in the 80's and he died in '86 at 77. A friend bought his collection.

I Like your recording also... this was a really popular tune as witnessed by the number of different rolls produced of this title.....

[@pgronemeier]

Hmmmm....I had the Kortlander version..and that was good. Heard the Clair and this one. But I think the Supertone was/is the best. IMO. Just a great piano song.
