Inspired!!!! That is the word I would use to describe his arrangements. The one you chose is very soothing.:)

No, no, no!!

You want to share Crazy Rhythm, you do it properly! With the band that CREATED IT!

Presenting Roger Wolfe Kahn and His Orchestra, live from 1928:

This is 'Crazy Rhythm'. Written by Kahn himself.

The Bostonians, 1929. "My Fate Is In Your Hands"



This was a pseudonym for Harry Reser. During the 1920s and 1930s, he led many bands using an amazing number of pseudonyms (The Bostonians, The Californians, The Clevelanders, Cliquot Club Eskimos, Denza Dance Band, Jazz Pilots, Six Jumping Jacks, Tennessee Happy Boys, The Vagabonds, etc.) What an amazing musician! :eusa_clap:D

Sam Lanin and his Orchestra -- Am I Wasting My Time On You (circa 1926)

[video=youtube;KwOUhODbzC8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwOUhODbzC8&feature=related[/video]

Am I wasting my time by thinking you're mine?
And dreaming the way that I do?
Am I wasting the tears I cried all these years?
Just wondering if your love is true?
When I lose in the end and just be a friend
Please tell me it's time that I knew
Will my heart have to pay? Will you send me away?
Am I wasting my time on you?
