Besides the version that he did for Edison with the "Seven Blue Babies", recorded in January of 1928, Jack Kaufman also recorded this version for Harmony under his own name. Irving Caeser (best known for co-writing "Tea For Two") and Cliff
Friend (prolific songwriter famous for "There's Yes Yes In Your Eyes") wrote this cheerful tune in late 1927, and though it was recorded many times it passed into obscurity like many giddy 20s tunes. Kaufman hams it up royally here, in a way
that he never could for Edison (a short excerpt from the Diamond Disc version at Crystal Stream Audio shows that he used a more sedated approach), narrowly escaping
making this into a "laughing record". The musicians on piano, clarinet and saxophone are uncredited, which is unfortunate, but there's a good possibility that two of the musicians that accompanied Kaufman on the Edison side are here as well
(a young Jimmy Dorsey could be playing the clarinet and saxophone here - some confirmation one way or the other would be greatly appreciated). The disc itself was one of the last acoustic recordings, and was kicked around a little, but after
some noise reduction treatment and EQ it actually sounds pretty good.
