Originally recorded by Warner’s Seven Aces, this tune enjoyed a bit of a revival five years later with new versions by a number of artists including Hoagy’s. A good lineup here, Bix in his final recording joined by Jack Teagarden, Jimmy Dorsey, Bud Freeman, Joe Venuti, Eddie Lang, Gene Krupa and others. Hoagy Sings, but Irving Brodsky plays piano on this one.

The Oct. 28 date has 5 Whiteman musicians plus Hoagy-p, Andy Secrest-c and Buzz Wernert-g. Secrest was then with The Royal Peacocks out of Indianapolis. With Hoagy, they would record as Goldkette's band in Dec. '27.

How did Hoagy commandeer 5 of Whiteman's boys to make a recording at Richmond? Well...Whiteman was in Indy, doing a run at the Indiana Theater. Hoagy, who had been hanging around the band helping Bill Challis arrange "Washboard Blues," offered the guys a record date. Either it was an off day or Pops himself gave the okay.
