I'm surprised to see no Victor record of this tune. The only listing  
in EDVR online is an unissued version by Esther Walker, 12 May 1920  
(mx B 24107; five takes, Take 3 chosen but ultimately destroyed), and  
that's not a dance-band side. Didn't see the tune in the Brunswick  
"Abrams file" either.

Take care,


Joe
