This Harmony release, recorded on February 3 of 1926, was actually Ben Selvin's band with a vocal by the bandleader. Someone has posted an acoustic sample of this record on
"YouTube", but I'm posting my sample here since I use non-acoustic methods. It's a nice arrangement and tightly played, with a trumpet solo
toward the end that could well be played by Red Nichols. The song was written by Ray Henderson, Sam Lewis, and Joe Young (also responsible for "Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue" and "I'm Sitting On Top of the World"); the title
of the tune is a pun on the phrase "so's your old man," commonly heard back then but seldom said now. The disc from which this sample was gleaned had not been played very much so there was minimal wear on the loud notes.
