It might be almost 100 years old, but this is a good tune. Really complex stuff going on in there.
@cjd This song was one of my grandfather's favorite tunes and along with "Life is just a bowl of cherries" are the two songs we keep passing down as our family songs.
Something I noticed watching that recording of it, they're SO well dressed, they're over-dressed and it shows. I realized that it has to be that at that time, they were seen as sinners, so they wanted to put on the best appearance that they possibly could to try to placate the criticism.
@cjd True! Jazz musicians back then had a spotty reputation as ne'er do wells, reefer smokers, integrationists, etc.
I really wonder what kind of music existed pre-1913, I heard one song and it was awful, but I hate to think that the entire history of decent music is downstream of a fake money culture...
@cjd My parents loved the Big Band era. They loved to dance to it. So did my aunts and uncles.
Beethoven's Sonate No. 14, 3rd Movement, for example, is a jam.
