February 1 of 1923, Zez and his band recorded this side and several others for Victor. Martin Broones (co-author of "I Only Want One Girl" and "Campus Capers") with Alex Sullivan (co-wrote "Kisses" and "I'll Be Leaving Here
With You") had written the tune earlier that year, and aside from one other recording by Vincent Lopez on Okeh it doesn't look it got much exposure. (Another tune of the same title made the rounds in 1928.) This waxing is
different than most of Zez's orchestral works, as he takes an extended piano break in the middle: keeping to the spirit of ragtime rather than jazz, he kicks the tune around while staying within the bounds of the original melody.
The record was nearly pristine on first glance, but had been played with what was probably a frozen reproducer once, since the loud parts were broken out. Noise reduction took care of the worst of it, making the rest more enjoyable.
