Background

The song was recorded on August 29, 1922, in Richmond, Indiana and released as Gennett 4966A, Matrix #11179, as by the Friars Society Orchestra under the direction of Husk O'Hara.[1] It was first released by the New Orleans Rhythm Kings under the name the Friars Society Orchestra and soon was covered by several jazz bands.[2] A band called The Georgians recorded it in 1923, copying Roppolo's acclaimed clarinet solo note for note.[3]

As well as the many cover versions by jazz performers during the swing era, the tune was also picked up by Hawaiian music artists in this period such as Sam Ku West and Sol Hoopii, and later by instrumentalists in other genres, such as Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs who recorded a bluegrass arrangement of "Farewell Blues" in 1955.
