"Crazy Rhythm" by Roger Wolfe Kahn 1928

Post by melvind »

Another really fun Fox Trot co-written by Roger Wolfe Kahn himself. I love this song. It is one those tunes that has "IT" somehow. I feel happy when I listen to it, and it kind of makes you move around to the music. A good one for these days when we are all stuck at home!

Oh how I wish I owned this record. If I owned all the records I like, my collection would be much larger. Thanks for posting and making great videos. :D

Wonderful, many thanks! Miff Mole & Joe Venuti in there if I'm not mistaken.

Oh man, this is my kind of music! I hate the blues, it just makes me so depressed! This is the kind of music that makes me want to get up, and go out, and make something of myself, and be somebody!

Here's another good version with the Whispering Baritone:

I love Roger Wolfe Kahn. My favorite is "You belong to me". I probably play one of his songs at least once a week.
