Description
I had no information about the catalog number of this roll; I got it out-of-box and already damaged like this. Apart from the beginning, it plays OK.
Tom Brier says this is the J. Lawrence Cook roll for QRS in the 1920s, catalog number 3298.
The music is generally credited to Ray Henderson, with lyrics by Sam M. Lewis and Joseph Widow Young. The first known recording was made in 1925. The origin of the song is not known for certain, as far as I can tell. If you look it up, some places date the song to 1914 and composed by popular songwriter Percy Wenrich with lyrics by Jack Mahoney. I've never seen any original sheet music with Wenrich's name on it, though, whereas I have seen the 1925 sheet with Henderson's name. Not to mention that the lyrics about a flapper certainly suggest the 1920s and not the 1910s.
