Paul Whiteman Orch. - Alabamy Bound (1924) 

fantastic semi-jazz, more of this yeah !

Thank you for combining my two loves, old recordings and passenger trains. Very enjoyable video.

Thank you for this enjoyable musical journey - great illustrations as always.

Lovely early Whiteman's!!!

VERSE: Goodbye blues. Birdies are singing every old thing in tune. Goodbye blues. Nothing but laughter morning and afternoon. Saw a rose bud in a store, now I'm going where there's more. Goodbye blues. Troubles are over, I'll be in clover soon. CHORUS: I'm Alabamy bound. There'll be no heebie jeebies hanging round. Just gave the meanest ticket man on earth all I'm worth. To put my tootsies in an upper berth. Just hear that choo-choo sound. I know that soon we're gonna cover ground. And then I'll holler so the world will know, "Here I go!" I'm Alabamy bound. "PATTER": I can hear that choo choo whistle blow; Watch that engine when we start to go. Now we're in Baltimore, Knockin' at Dixie's door. What's that, Bill? Louisville? We passed that before. Fields o'cotton tell me where I am, Hear that feller yellin' "Alabam!" Mam-my, Mam-my, Get your kisses ready for yo' honey lamb! CHORUS: I'm just a lucky hound to have someone to put my arms around. That's why I'm shouting so the world will know, "Here I go!" I'm Alabamy bound.

It was a shame that everyone was not included in the good times back then

Was it just me that remembered Mickey Mouse in the 20's and 30's just listening to the music and instruments?

Not Bewildered In The Slightest sample

Black and white Mickey Mouse comes in my mind when hearing this.
