The Five Birmingham Babies: Copenhagen, Mamie, Hard Hearted Hannah, Deep Sea Blues, The Little Ramblers: I’m Satisfied Beside That Sweetie of Mine, Arkansas Blues, Goofus Five: Go Emmaline, Them Ramblin’ Blues, Golden Gate Orch.: Back Where the Daffodils Grow, California Ramblers: That Big Blonde Mama.

Rambler subgroups populate this offering, mixed in with some contemporaries. This continues our exposure to the goofus and kazoo. Much has already been shared previously from the Ramblers and here some favorites are “I’m Satisfied” and “Daffodils”. This episode contains a hidden benefit, some of the era’s leading trumpet/cornet players are lined up: Bill Moore (5BB, G5, LR, CR, GGO), Bubber Miley, Bix, Frank Guarente (the Georgians), Armstrong. And fans of Rollini (bass sax, goofus, second kazoo) will appreciate his work with 5BB who debut in this episode. This bass sax and goofus virtuoso, later an important vibes player, was also an accomplished kazoo player. Ellington’s composition Choo Choo was recorded by The Goofus Five. Otto Hardwick here is on saxophone and Bubber Miley sounding in some spots like Bill Moore.
