Bix & Orchestra. For a Rainy Day

Joe Venuti is playing the violin, Irving Brodsky the piano, and Weston Vaughan is the vocalist. Also featured in the group are Eddie Lang, Bud Freeman, the Dorsey brothers and Benny Goodman.  How's that for a fist-full of talent?

This was from Bix' last session as a orchestra leader...and one of the saddest, as he was "falling apart", due to alcoholism.



 Well, it ain't "Singin' In The Rain," still, the song gives me a lift at times like this. Sun is due to make an appearance later in the day.  We shall see.

And so it goes.
