Does anyone remember Irving Berlns; song and remember the Andrews sisters singng it? It was written n 1911 but the Second World War years and the Andrews Sisters brought it back with all its really catchy melody.
Quote"C ome on and hear, Alexander';s rag time band. Come on and hear its the best band in the Land."
For some reason it was popular during those frantic frenetic years we sat at home l istening to the radios and hearing all about the war, and the losses
as we pasted gold stars on the windows. Stars for dead sons and brothers, uncles, fathers and husbands.
WE craved diversion from our fears and singers like the Andrews sisters brought songs l ke A lexanders Ragtime band to the forefront again.I hope
all will check it out as its cute and catchy and fun to l isten to.

a hint of desperation in the dancing and the music, that's what that era of music has always reminded me of

I certainly remember the song. In fact, I listen to it fairly often. But the version I have is by Bing Crosby.
