I'm so happy to find this song! I only knew it from the Bugs Bunny cartoon, "One Froggy Evening"! I've been looking for it for a long time, and I'm delighted to find not only the original roll, but also the lyrics here! Thank you! :)

I only discovered this today (13 June 22) going through a reader's digest sheet music book "Unforgettable Music Memories". I sight read it and it sounded interesting. I looked at Dean singing it , not keen on that but this old roll gave me a good idea of how it was played way back when in the 1930's. It's a catchy little piece. I play Theatre Pipe Organ for a group of people, don't know how that will go. If they don't know a piece then it's generally not liked, it's hard to please people. Most non musicians generally only like the music they heard in their formative years, say 15 to 30 something, it varies. Usually associated with a relationship, eg: "Their playing our song"

Not exactly apropos, but I played the piano as a kid and when I became professional dancer, I was considered a good singer who could play with the melody and the phrasing really well, but even though I played this song every day for 6 or 7 years, I never realized the first 4 chords of the chorus were the same chord in different inversions. And I could have listened to "Joy to the World" every day of my life without realizing it was just a major scale play backwards. I can't even recognize a major from a minor every time: 18 times out of twenty, but never 20 out of 20. The pianist at my dance school was a great stride pianist and played professionally in New York clubs from the age of 15, but her father had to lock the piano and make her learn to read music on a paper keyboard because otherwise she could just played every lesson by ear. Worst of all, I never realized you could build up a professional repetoire from memory so I never tried. (85 and broken hearted.)

@@MrCrowebobby I play as I said Theatre organ and only need a air plus chord symbols in some circles called (fake music) most theatre organists reasonably accomplished can do this. Most written music out there is for piano certainly not organ so we are left to our thing. I know most of the chord inversions but certainly hate any more than two sharps or more than four flats. My favourite key is Eb don't ask me why , most pieces in it seem to sound better to my ears. I know little music from memory but can sit down at an organ and just play something from my head , perhaps it's even unique but my music writing skills are abysmal while I read almost fluently playing counter melody that comes from somewhere within me. You are fully engaged on a theatre pipe organ , both feet and both hands, you certainly can do much more than you can on a piano.

@@Robbie1949 I only had one scholastic year of piano with some nuns from the local convent. One day they made me say which one I liked the best, then got pissed off when I told the truth. I was Protestant and didn't think you could lie to a nun. I continued on my own, but could never play more than 3 flats or 2 sharps. When I left home a 16 for NY I never had regular access to a piano ago, but how I would have loved to be able to play what I could hear. Perhaps in the next life. Thanks for responding.

[@Robbie1949]

@@MrCrowebobby I learnt organ for four years back in my teens after that I joined the RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force) at age 22 (1972) , access to an organ was always difficult after that but I rebuilt an old Yamaha on a posting to Air Base Butterworth in Malaysia. I am an electronics tech by trade, mice had made a mess of it so it was back to rewiring it. I had bought a US made organ (Thomas) back in the 1960's. So I continued on with that on posting back to Australia. Years later I now own several electronic organs and a couple of pianos but my favourite is playing the 3/10 Wurlitzer pipe organ located about 105 Km away from the country town I live in now. Religion is not big here in Australia and I have little to do with it except when I am prevailed upon to play at a little church here for up to half a dozen little old ladies > 80 years. I don't believe in any of it and am a confirmed non theist so it's hard to sit through the service and listen to all the bullshit. Organists of any reasonable ability are few these days so I relent at Christmas and sometimes Easter. In my more than twenty years in the RAAF, Padres were always asking me to play for various occasions , weddings, carols by candlelight etc. These were festive occasions so I didn't mind playing at such times but it's not very good to have to sit through a service that has no meaning for you especially when there is no payment even offered.

[@MrCrowebobby]

@@Robbie1949 I share your religious views . . . and I'm not really counting on a next life, that's just a glib throwaway line. I became too discouraged about not being able to play anything by ear to fight through the lack of access to a piano; there actually was one in the half-way house I lived in from 16 to 20. I bought a full-keyboard electric piano two years ago, but found I don't remember very much of what I knew back then and my left hand brain/finger connection cuts out when practicing scales. Same thing happens with my right foot, hence the need for a cane. I know I should be happy that's all that's wrong with me at 85. Thank the God I don't believe in for the Internet and the access to all the great ragtime and stride piano I can listen to every day. It's been great talking to you. Take care.

[@CYCLONE1BREEZE]

GREAT SONG.

[@dorothywells-wz5nr]

Nice tune. D

[@frankolen4137]

Thank u

[@CM-xs2eb]

Have always loved this song since I first heard Smith Ballew sing it! That recording has been impossible to find since then haha.

[@MrCrowebobby]

Thanks, I never of heard of Smith Ballew before.

[@ShinyBusterBaby]

This is very nice! I actually came here looking for the 1930's vocal version When I'm Gone that became the Cups song by Lulu and the Lampshades and later on from Pitch Perfect. This piano definitely seals up the time of an era in music! Wonderful.

[@HokoAoi]

This is beautiful :3 Thanks for the upload, bro.

[@josephmyers3142]

chorus = "five foot two......" EXACTLY!

[@lewisray2697]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@ChiefDizzyLeaf]

I with this was on Fallout 3

[@pennagainagain7491]

Sweet ... and flirty .... and just a tad hot.

[@gregoryagogo]

Why I was never was satisfied with an electric player...it never pumps enough air through it... notes are not being hit strongly enough.

[@davidoppenheim3979]

This Duo Art Reproducing piano and Duo Art piano roll tell the player mechanism exacty how to recreate the pianist's style of playing with all of the original expression, rather than full volume "beating out the tune" so that other people in the room can't wait to leave as soon as possible.

쩦..... 자동으로 힘 안들이고 피아노 치는 사람 누구야 !

[@OofusTwillip]

The piano is playing by itself, like a music box, but pneumatically, with tiny rubber tubes. The holes in the paper roll control the piano's mechanism. There are some KZbin videos about how an old player-piano works, and some about how QRS makes the paper rolls.

[@PiotrBarcz]

Too slow...
