dude on the drums was a huge influence on John Bonham

i love a good negro spiritual!

My father was a fan of al Bowley to the point when my father past away at 90 years young we played al Bowley songs at his funeral and 17 years later I find myself listening to al Bowley songs and it brings a smile in my heart thinking about my wonderful father god bless you mum and dad x❤

Nyehhhh. Bands in those days still had banjos (boo! hiss! I HATE banjos!) and usually had too many reed players. As the years passed, more brass was brought in to balance that out. THAT is what evolved into 'The Big Band Era' with all that great music. And have you noticed that most of the lead male vocalists in those early days sounded like they'd been castrated? Tenors and baritones------and much finer audio recording techniques------changed that for the better.

Excellent ! At this time Spanish Revival architecture was in fashion and transforming Santa Barbara and many parts of Southern California into places of exquisite beauty. Unfortunately 1929 brought a tragic end to this magical transformation. This performance would have blended in perfectly with one of the Santa Barbara theatres of that era ❤.

Great band! Disciplined yet light hearted.

Great visual study on the genesis of the "drum set" or "drum kit" as we know it today. Pretty much standardized by about 1960. Great showmanship by Mr. Lyman, too.

Dinah got a juicy thicc booty I'm sure 🤤😆😉

One of the girls on the stage is a young Rita Hayworth, this are her parents who's dancing, The Cansinos...

This is Keith Richards ´ "Little T&A" in the 1920s.

Let's play banjo! Forget smartphones!

This Vitaphone short was in theaters in 1928. They did two or three other numbers that aren't seen here in this video.

Love it!

Thank You so much for posting this very sweet treasure! I LOVE this!

Thanks a lot from Amsterdam. Great!

The song that gave Fannye Rose Shore her professional name.

Thanks! It's Awesome to actually see this great Collegiate band from the 1920s! 🎶 And isn't the leader Fred Waring the same guy who invented the Waring Blender?

What a great novelty song this is! Warings Pennsylvanians made some of the best records you can find in the. Nineteen Twenties! They also made the first feature film (Syncopation) of the all talkie studio called Radio Pictures in 1929. That turned into RKO Radio Pictures (who made the first King Kong movie) Thanks for sharing this awesome sound film.

Wondering why Franklyn can't help but sort of conduct with his hand continuously...

The audio here exceeds what we hear on his Brunswick records of the time.

There appears to be a bit of somewhat gay humor here. "You ready boys?" "Yaaaayz" "What kind of a band is this?" I know that Rich was married, but...not that there's anything wrong with that.
