Adrian Rollini treats us not only to his sax, but to that goofy thing called the "goofus" in this arrangement! We also hear Red Nichols on this recording!
Once again, my invaluable resource has provided the correct orchestra name via the Numerical Discography site and the correct recording date of April 26, 1928, so I've made the appropriate changes! The vocalist could be Scrappy Lambert, but let know if it isn't, and I believe I hear Tommy Dorsey as well.
Described as "Ted White's Collegians", this is most likely a Fred Rich recording. I can't find the specific title or label number, 1228, in the Fred Rich recordings, but I can find 1229, placing it in May, 1928. I also believe I hear Tommy Dorsey briefly after the vocal. If the vocalist "Al King" is a pseudo, let me know as I'm very bad about identifying singers!
Mr. Robison chooses the ubiquitous "choo choo" for his mode of transportation back home--as did countless thousands of others in these 1920's songs! Doo-wacka-doo effects included at no extra charge!
A hot solo about 2/3 of the way through makes this arrangement very entertaining! Also, Mr. Lewis never lost his fondness for the double ending, last used with any frequency in, oh, about 1922, but in this version we have a double double ending!
No Bing on this side, but Betty Patrick's vocal in conjunction with a hot arrangement makes it enjoyable nonetheless! By the way, courtesy of one of my very well-versed subscribers, Don Clark was a former saxophonist for Paul Whiteman before forming his own band in 1924!
This theme song from "The Singing Fool" is filled with the usual Selvin hot solos along with some nice marimba and a vocal by Jack Parker! The Viva-Tonal sound quality also embellishes the arrangment!
