"My Pal Jerry"

by Duke Yellman and his Orchestra

Arthur Hall and John Ryan sing the duet on this merry song from 1926, written by Fred Rose (wrote "Honest and Truly", also co-wrote "Deed I Do"), and performed here by one of the better regional dance bands to grace the later Edison Labs catalog. Recorded on October 26 of that year, too early for electric recording but well done nonetheless, the arrangement takes advantage of the extra minute of recording time with lots of ensemble passages. The record itself had not been played very much, and all it needed was rumble removal.
