Nobody Cares If I'm Blue - Paul's Novelty Orchestra, 1930

This is Nobody Cares If I'm Blue by Paul's Novelty Orchestra, recorded in 1930. This, my favorite version of this tune, was originally recorded for Electrobeam Gennett, but was rereleased on their budget label, Champion. This group is currently unknown as far as I can tell. I did think the accordion sounded suspiciously like Lawrence Welk, but he would not have been in New York at this Point, so I don't think it was him.

According to Brian Rust's American Dance
Band Discography this is from the first of 4 NY sessions between July and Dec. 1930. He suggests possibly Eddie Paul or Paul Davin as the leader. Frank Luther does all the vocals.
"My Canary has Circles Under His Eyes" done by Lawrence Welk in Grafton, Wi in Spring 1931 was issued on Lyric as by Paul's Novelty Orch.

Thank you for the info! That makes way more sense.

This has all the earmarks of a Grey Gull side (and sorry, no Lawrence Welk!! 😅) with some guys present and some not. Frank Luther definitely singing. That's all I can come up with...

[@martinbryan3716]

It's a New York recording -- would Welk have been there at this point?

[@yestertreasures]

Good point, likely not.
