Here Comes My Ball and Chain -- Coon-Sanders Band, 1928.

It's pretty easy to see where the Paul Whiteman Band (which came later) got their styling. That band's popularity lasted longer, probably because of Bing Crosby and Bix Beiderbeck, who became a legend.

This was a great tune, but for some reason nobody covered it. (?)  If you have any ideas, write me.

Lately, somebody wrote me and pointed out this great youtube version from Andor's Jazz Band.
