"Cryin' for the Carolines" played by - Alfredo and his Band

Cryin' for the Carolines
(Lewis-Young-Warren)
(from the film, "Spring is Here")
played by Alfredo and his Band
Edison Bell Radio 1353 (78 rpm record)
According to Brian Rust & Sandy Forbes, “British Dance Bands on Record, 1911 - 1945” General Gramophone Publications, 1987.
Alfred Gill (violin, director); . Alfie Noakes (trumpet); Richard MacDonald (trombone); Claude Cavalotti (alto sax); Les Allen-(tenor sax); Frank Walsh (piano); Cyril Gaida (banjo); Ken Garrison (brass bass); Charles E. Harris (drums); Sam Browne or Hal Swain (vocal). Recorded in London, May, 1930 .
I didn’t use any noise reduction on this one because I didn’t feel it was worth it. The record was in pretty good condition. Maybe it’s just the reverb on the original recording, but the band sounds bigger than is indicated in Rust & Forbes.

Glad you didn´t play back this record with an old, heavy steel needle that destroys these valuable records!

What "Carolines"?

[@MatthewDLDavidson]

My Guess is that North & South Carolina is what is meant. I stand to be corrected.

[@davidglow3]

​@@MatthewDLDavidsonyour correct,it's a nostalgia for a longing for the Carolinas..The composer probably had never been there.

[@MatthewDLDavidson]

@@davidglow3 thanks. There is a funny story about the Gershwin brothers (probably apocryphal). Apparently they were travelling by train once (in either Florida or Georgia) when one of the conductors pointed out the window and said something like, “Look! There it is!” The brothers asked what. All they saw was a rather unattractive, unassuming little creek. The conductor told them it was the Suwannee river. “You wrote a song about it!” he exclaimed enthusiastically.

@@MatthewDLDavidson That was Irving Caesar who wrote Swanee ,where the conductor pointed out the river to him..

[@MatthewDLDavidson]

@@davidglow3 You are right! Thanks for correcting my (probably apocryphal) story, much appreciated! 😀
