It was written in 1926.


The song is funny and reminds me of a Chaplin movie.

It also isn't really a good demonstration of what was in my mind, but it did show well an interpretation almost century apart from the original.

In fairness music from 100 years ago doesn't really adapt well (IMHO). Music from the 1930s onwards does better, but much of it is too subtle to adapt well the computer-generated style. Personally I'm more into Jazz, African, Latin, Cuban, Rock, Soul, Funk, than to the computer-timed music. I've always liked my music much "looser" and to evolve and vary within itself. Modern music seems to try to do that, but very often it does it only by changing the sound pallet. To me it seems very shallow and I get bored all too easily. Obviously others will feel differently about it.

Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful.
