Proving that white bands could and did put "jazz flavor" into just about anything, this is a rather famous polka tune written by John A. Bassett and M. Werner-Kerston. Sam Lanin and his band whipped up an dance-band arrangement for this
tune and recorded this side for Gennett in July of 1922. It works, in a quirky way, especially when they let it all hang out in the last 45 seconds. The record itself had been treated roughly in its life though, with some noise reduction
applied, a lot of the hiss and crackle has been diminished so that the rest of it is listenable. (More information about Sam Lanin can be found at Tim Gracyk's site.)
