the bass playing in rudy vallee's first recording of 'there is a tavern in the town'

Haven't heard it. but I bet it's good for laughs.

One of the Doo Wop oldies, I think it was "Tonight, Tonight" by the Mello-Kings was a riot. The bass player hit very few right notes. AND it was a I-VI-II-V prgression. I think it was eventually cleaned up or rerecorded for Oldies radio.

Duh! Who DOESN'T own this recording, and know this fact???? Actually, never heard it before. Is this the version, or is this the later version of the song???

Artistdirect.com looks like it might be an interesting site.

I have also heard a few Rudy Vallee songs from Betty Boop cartoons(I think, some follow the bouncing ball clip) that sounded pretty good....Do you have a cd of Mr. Vallee? If so, is it worth getting?

Berigan,

Yeah, some (early) Valee recordings are priceless!!

I learned this after a lengthy tutorial by none other than TINY TIM!!!!

Man, he was cool! No joke!

He had an encyclopedic knowledge of THEE earliest recordings.

When I spent an afternoon with him, he continously produced AMAZING

recordings by Billy Murray, Russ Columbo...& SO many more.

God Bless Tiny Tim!!!!!!
