One of my favorite '20s songs, in two comparative versions. I've always had a soft spot for Frank Luther's vocals and Jack Pettis's tenor sax in Ben Bernie's version, but the George Olsen (a new acquaintance) is nice too.
Ten Little Miles From Town (v. Frank Luther) Ben Bernie and His Hotel Roosevelt Orchestra (Br 3882; 7/28/28) [sorry in advance that this is a well-enjoyed copy!]
Ten Little Miles From Town George Olsen & His Music (Vic 21589-A; 45891-2; NY, 7/19/28)
