Crankin' It Up



Lyman's California Ambassador Hotel Orchestra recorded "Weary Weasel" on July 27, 1923, for your dancing pleasure. This is another of those records that I have kept safely stored away, and had never played. Imagine my surprise as I recorded it into the computer, and I heard that this song is an obvious knockoff of the "Tiger Rag!" Wonders never cease. "Before You Go" is on the A side, and I will check it out for next week's crank up.

BONUS!!! Here is the original recording of "Tiger Rag" from 1917 by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, uploaded by transformingArt.
