This version was recorded at Star Piano in Richmond, IN. The lead trumpet is my grandfather... he couldn't read sheet music, but he filled in for Mr. Carmichael's lead who was unable to play.

I'm 63 now and remember my parents doing the jitterbug to this song all my life at every wedding and event where there was a band to play these old songs. My father would sing this all the time and my mom was just as attached to this melody. Great memories and some great times to cherish they are both gone now but the memories linger on all because we can remember the music and the good times we shared

Awesome Canadian song. :)
