George Olsen #2 Recorded 1927 - 1929 CD351b

George Olsen And His Music #2 MC351B

This album starts with a couple of songs from 'Good News' - These versions of 'Lucky in Love' and the 'Varsity Drag' are played by the pit orchestra from the original Broadway Show so they would be the definitive versons.. Oddly enough, none of the show's cast recorded any of their numbers with George Olsen. Olsen's band made their entrance as the 'College Band' , running down the aisles shouting college cheers. In 'King For A Day', George does the vocals himself - an unusual event. Ethel Shutta made her first recording with the band in October, 1928, but it was over a year before she recorded a second song - 'South Sea Rose', and her third recording date was February, 1932.
