This version almost sounds as if "Spike Jones" was involved ?? Sounds good here on my computer speakers-- Ron Rich

Spike Jones was born it 1911. This disc dates from the late teens.

I guess, Ron, the sliding whistle reminds you of Spike Jones?
It sounds excellent--mellow, quite a bit of the lower register comes through, and hardly any surface noise.

Hi Joe,
Yes--that, the "rim shot", and the whole arrangement-- It would be my guess that Spike Jones heard this at one time --

Thanks. I've been putting quite a lot of time into coming up with something that would at least match what's already out there.
